info
Currently, you can only search for conversations and messages in the Status desktop app.

In the Status app, you can search for specific conversations (direct messages, group chats and channels) as well as text within those conversations.

  • The message search function only includes messages in your chat window, including those you can scroll through. Older messages beyond this may not appear.
  • You can search messages in token-gated communities and channels as long as you're a community member with access to the channel.
  • On Status desktop, you can use keyboard shortcuts or the
    Search
     option in the user interface.

You can search for conversations in direct messages, group chats and channels you are part of.

    Ctrl + K
     (Windows or Linux) or
