When searching throughout all conversations it would be super helpful to have options and filters. To make it easier to find a specific message, options should include whether or not to search within contacts or just within the conversations, the ability to filter the search results by date, and the ability to change the sort order such as alphabetical, reverse alphabetical, newest first, oldest first.
why? often when searching for a particular communication I am presented with a sea of contacts responses without any ability to sift through the many options to find the one I'm looking for. I think I would use often the ability to search only through conversations and not have it give me results from the names of the contacts themselves and to limit the search results within the last 2 weeks or the last month or the last 3 days. for the date filters it would be so helpful to have quick and easy preset filters to tap on such as within the last week, within the last month, and the ability to set a custom range.
