There needs to be an option in the pull down menus on the top right
of the individual text conversations to search for specific words and/or phrases within that text conversation.
All other messaging apps offer this option, such as Samsung and Google messages. I absolutely LOVE the Textra messaging app and all the customizable options it offers for the messages.

However, I frequently need to search within my conversations for specific messages, and not having that option is really a deal breaker for me to continue using it.
