Highlight terms in search results

Franck Lahaye

The search function returns a list of conversations and emails containing the query but it doesn't highlight them inside the conversation.

Conversations can be very long may not even load the portion containing the search terms.

This is sorely needed! And ideally, you could toggle through with an arrow button or something to navigate to the next place where your search term is in the conversation

Please....4 years is a long time to scroll through the entire chat history to find something.

Carina Clingman

YAAASSSSS. Please.

Eliz Geli

really need this especially for long conversations. Yeah the search term was mentioned in the conversation but I have to scroll through months of the chat to find it.

Highlighted Search Text

Carissa carissa.yaffe@crowdox.com

Currently when searching for specific text in previously sent emails, say the words 'Product Bundles' the search filter populates all emails that the text is found in. It would be great to have the text highlighted in the emails so I can see the exact conversation 'Product Bundles' was mentioned and not have to scroll through the entire email thread.

Since fuzzy search is now enabled on our account this feature would be very welcome!

Pierre Steckmeyer

Highlighted text in pre-expanded messages would be perfect!

Thoughts on renaming this post to "Highlight terms in search results"

Etienne Lemay

@Dan Murray: Done!

@Bastien Bournet-Charrier: My bad, accidentally deleted your reply here.

I think it would be helpful to have a way to iterate through the highlighted items, like how a word processor or browser can jump forward and back through items when you search with Cmd or Ctrl-F.

Custom/renamed titles of emails must be searchable as well. I love Missive's ability to change titles but it's a let down that they aren't searched.

Rafael Masson

@Alex Arbab-Zadeh: Custom titles should be searched, although not in a “full text search” fashion (eg. search with a singular word may not find a title with the plural version of that word). Can you please email us at support@missiveapp.com to give us an example that doesn’t seem to work?

@Rafael Masson: Hi Rafael, sorry the canny notification was marked as a promotional email by Gmail and I have all these being filtered out of my inbox. Been so busy I haven't checked them. You're right, Missive is searching them so I apologise for my above comment! It is doing some partial matching though... for example, I have been re-titling email conversations with the model inside < >, e.g. '<T3>'. However, when I search for '<T3>' I get loads of results that include just 'T3'.

Rafael Masson

@Alex Arbab-Zadeh: Indeed. It is very common for “full text” search engines to strip non-alphabetical characters when indexing and searching. I am pretty sure you would get similar results with the Gmail search.
