[Feature-request] Search in Messages application/list
A search in Messages application will be very useful. At least by name. Currently you get lost when looking for SMS from a specific contact. Also search for keyword within the body of all SMS-es or within specific thread will be great.
Update - Changed SMS to generic / right term Messages
Yes, please! It's a must! Either search from the message app... or general message search from People..?

Kari ( 2014-04-24 17:44:13 +0200 )editI personally do not think a global search is what I need when I am in SMS application. I want to search just SMSes there, not applications, nor documents. Also it was stated that a global search is not that easy due to lack of common DB.
zlatko ( 2014-04-24 17:56:37 +0200 )editI was thinking that global SF search, would appear on various apps and would even able to identify what would be searched e.g. in sms app the messages, numbers and names.
But as @Aard was explaining in his reply he didn't got lot of feedback from N9 users.
Personally I used and liked the global search Symbian Belle was able to provide e.g. when searching the sms messages.
Kari ( 2014-04-24 20:41:47 +0200 )editWhat annoyed me with pretty much every phone I have had so far, is that there is no searching (or filtering) through the history of messages in place.
I would propose that Jolla offers a search/filter option in its messaging apps.
Some simple use cases:
http
and _presto!_ there it is! ☺my nifty new TOH
and in a short while get the list of all messages that include that string with an option to enter each thread at that particular message.(this comment was originally posted as a separate question, but marked as duplicate)
