The search function is too broad. The ability to be able to search an individual conversation as opposed to all conversations at once would be more effective... I tried searching for a specific phrase and it returned so many results (as it was a common phrase) that it just seemed cumbersome to cycle through all of them. Plus, the search results should- like let's say the number of found items, should be shown to provide an easy reference to them, e.g. 1 of 10 results. Then you could cycle through each of them easily.

I've seen this functionality in many other messaging apps. If textra has this then it would contend with everything else. Hooray for Textra!
