Is it possible (or easy), in an inbox with a sea of messages, to filter the inbox down to messages from a specific user?
AI-generated summary
The discussion revolves around the ability to filter inbox messages by a specific user. jordan-violet inquired about the feasibility of filtering inbox messages by a particular user. Heliosurge suggested using the search bar’s advanced options to achieve this, which also allows adding date options.
nathank proposed making the in:messages @username search a default suggestion when searching in the context of messages, as it is a common type of search.
Heliosurge and Moin discussed the possibility of adding a default “in:messages” search, with Moin pointing out that this feature is already implemented on desktop, where the “in:messages” option is added when searching in the inbox. However, Heliosurge noted that this feature is not available on mobile, where the search box does not add the “in:messages” option unless advanced options are clicked.
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.
I wonder if could add a search to messages that has the default “in:messages” applied.
This would make it more intuitive.
, the “in:messages” is already added.
Doesn’t show a search box on mobile. The search in the header doesn’t add the in messages unless you click advanced.
So on Desktop there is a tailored message search? Cool
