Take me right to the message in the Channel and don't open thread view when clicking on a URL, notification, or Channel searching
planned
Cece Schweitzer
Every time I click a notification or comment URL in Chat, I get taken to the thread view. I understand that clicking it and opening the thread could be useful for replying, but it disrupts the flow of messaging if I have to click out of the thread to continue the conversation in the Channel and not reply in the thread.

Chat search go to message
Alex Kozhev
When using Chat and searching for an message with Ctrl+F you can find a specific message, but you can´t go to the specific place in chat, where it was written. We would like the oprion to "go to message" and see the moment, where this specific thing was discussed to read the descussion.

search

If you search for individual words in channels or chats, the search unfortunately only throws out the individual message, but it would be helpful to be able to jump to the point in the chat history so that you can read the associated messages that have been written.

Enable Chat Search Results to Jump to the Exact Message Date/Time

When I search within a chat (by keyword, phrase, or person), I can see the matching messages in the search results, but there’s no way to jump directly to that message’s location in the full chat thread.
It would be very helpful if clicking on a search result would:
- Open the related chat and automatically scroll to the exact date/time of that message, and
- Optionally highlight the message briefly so it’s easy to find in context.
This would make it much easier to revisit old conversations, reference past decisions, and follow up on action items in long-running chats.

Please notify me when this is done should be high priority imo

Search is useless without this, whats the point of searching for a message, when you can't see in what context that message was sent. A lot of times during discussions, a topic is sent across multiple lines of messages, and if we find one and cant read the others then its of no use. Please implement this! And we have thousands of messages in a chat box, we can't manually search for a message location in the chat and then read the discussion around it.

On open thread, scroll to latest
Alex
I notice that when I open a thread, say from a DM in Chat, the view that opens is the start of the thread, as opposed to the most recent messages.
It would be preferable for the most recent messages to be shown as opposed to the original message when opening a thread.

Hey Cece Schweitzer! This is coming very soon, hold on tight! We'll not be opening the thread view and instead taking you right to the actual comment that was created (unless of course the comment itself is a threaded reply).
For now, I've updated the name of your feature request!

We want to search for a message, then click on it and we expect that the chat view scrolls directly to the message which we have clicked on, so that I can see the full context of the conversation of nearby messages.
