Feature Request: Ability to "find" text

[sepsol]

Possibly using Regex as well

I agree with this feature. Please add ctrl+f capability to halloy like other irc clients has, makes it easier to search.

Awesome @gurgl! Btw we have a way to scroll to messages now checkout scroll_to_message in scroll_view.

So you could use this against a list of found messages from the search text, with next / prev functionality.

I'd recommend exposing something on the History API, such as find_text which returns a vec of message references. Store that in scroll view state along with current index into that vec for next / prev and then invalidate / refind it each time they enter text

Sweet, I'll take a look on those parts
