Find in page

This can be done with webviews.

Can probably use this https://github.com/rhysd/electron-in-page-search

Any progress on this? It's very inconvenient to look through logs manually.

I'm also not sure how it should work. Should you be able to search the entire history? Probably. But this might be time consuming and/or require advanced search to be really useful. A good first step here seems to be to search for a small fixed period of time, say, one month.

No progress for the moment. This issue is not related to full history search. Rather it's about being able to find text in page, as you can in a browser. Unfortunately this functionality needs to be manually re-implemented in electron apps and requires some significant changes to achieve.

One workaround, though not ideal is to open Developer Tools from the View menu. You can search there and it will search the content in your chat.

Just chiming in with a +1 for this, this is the one big thing that's really, really missing from IRCCloud right now.
