Personally, I’d much prefer it if this was the default - i.e. if I search in the context of messages, then this (`in:messages @username`) was suggested at the top of the list.

I believe that this is the most common type of search in messages (certainly is for me), and it is quite difficult to explain the use of the advanced search in that way to my regular users.
