How to search for a string in all SMS stored on the Jolla ?

AFAIK the how-to tag is for »questions«, that are actually an explanation on how to accomplish something or solve a problem.

On console you can access message database directly, like this for example;

sqlite3 /home/nemo/.local/share/commhistory/commhistory.db "select Freetext from Events where type=2;" | grep <your_searchstring_here>

Sorry, no idea about that. It'd be real easy to make one though; probably just plain QML could be enough.

However I think the best thing to do would be to patch jolla-messages and add a menu for searching SMS texts.
