Your use case
What would you like to do?
I would like to be able to filter the search results by certain properties similar to how discord does it.
For reference here are discords properties:
from:
user
mentions:
user
has:
link
embed
file
video
image
sound
sticker
before:
date
during:
date
after:
date
in:
channel
The last property could also replace the 2 separate tabs "This Room" and "All Rooms" which are currently in the element search or make the button add the filter in the search bar.
Why would you like to do it?
There are several cases where this can come in handy - to name a few:
has:file
orhas:video
or evenhas:link
from:@user:matrix.tld
before:date
How would you like to achieve it?
The current Element application (desktop) already offers a search feature which stores the chats locally. The search query would need to be improved with such filters and possibly store more (meta)data to archive the aforementioned features.
Have you considered any alternatives?
