Agree, should be a pretty simple fix 😊

Now that I dive into it, it seems like we’re intentionally limiting search for private messages it to 50 results. Perhaps this isn’t a 🐛 at all?

I just came across this today. I’d like to be able to pull up a full list of messages by a particular user with the same matching keywords. There should be hundreds, but I can only get up to 50.

Search is no longer limited to 50 results, so try again and see?
