Working24 has a powerful search engine under its hood. Search for messages using the search bar at the top of the screen.
Example
stream:design has:link is:starred new logo
Searches for messages in #design
that have a link, that you starred, and that have the words new
and logo
.
The permalink for that search (web only) will look something like https://your-app-url/#narrow/stream/123-design/has/link/is/starred/search/new.20logo
.

Searching shared history
Working24’s stream permissions model allows access to the full history of public streams and private streams with shared history, including messages sent before you joined the stream (or organization) or those sent to public streams you are not subscribed to.
By default, Working24 app searches messages in your history, i.e. the messages you actually received. This avoids cluttering search results with irrelevant messages from public streams you’re not interested in.
If you’d like to instead search the organization’s shared history, any query using the stream:
or streams:
operators will search all messages that you have access to in the selected stream(s). For example:
-
streams:public keyword
searches forkeyword
in all public streams in the organization. -
streams:public sender:user@example.com
searches for all messages sent by the user to any public stream.
Words and phrases
Most searches consist of a list of operators followed by a list of keywords.
-
new logo
: Search for messages with bothnew
andlogo
. -
"new logo"
: Search for messages with the phrase"new logo"
.
Working24 app does some basic stemming, so wave
will match waves
and waving
. Keywords are case-insensitive, so wave
will also match Wave
.
Emoji are included in searches, so if you search for octopus
it will include messages with .
Note that Working24 app ignores common words like a
, the
, and about 100 others. A quirk in Working24’s current implementation means that if all of your keywords are ignored, we’ll return 0 search results.
