We have installed a long requested feature at H-M, the ability to search your private messages! There are some things to know about this new feature:
  • The names Conversations and Direct Messages are interchangeable. As time goes by, I'll standardize on Direct Messages.
  • You can only search for your Direct Messages.
There are three ways to search your conversations, all of the navigable from your personal menu:

Option 1: From your Conversation / Direct Message screen. Click on your mail icon and go down to "Show All". You will be brought to all of your Direct Messages. From there, on the left side of the menu, you will see a Search Direct Messages.

Option 2: From your navigation bar on the right side of the screen, click on Search, and you will see an option to search Direct Messages:

Option 3: Notice on the picture above, we see Option 1 and Option 2 on the same screen. There is an additional button for "Advanced Search" which gives us or final option:

Advanced Search allows you to target certain content using parameters. Here you can search your direct messages and use filters in your search.

The wait is over! Find those direct messages you have been searching for years!
