No longer possible to search by date while "viewing as messages"
Steps to reproduce
- create a group chat
- enable topics
- select the option "view as messages" to view the forum as a standard chat
- use CTRL+F or the search option
Expected behaviour
There is an icon that allows to search messages by date
Actual behaviour
There is no icon to search by date. In fact, tdesktop brings up the search screen that used to be shown after using the search option while on the topics list screen. This makes impossible to search by date from tdesktop in a group chat where topics are enabled

In addition, after the profile design was updated, the “Show topic list” option disappeared when you have a group with topics open in the “view as messages” mode. Previously, you could click on the header and then click “Show topic list,” and a sidebar with the group’s topics would open. Now you have to manually search for the group in the list to bring back the topic view.
@RememberTheAir The search in topics group is reused from the old topics layout in chats list. It's a bit complicated to allow "search by date" there (this requires hiding the "X" that closes this search to be removed, because of too little space, and it is not a good idea to not have a way to close the search by mouse). But you can easily access search by date from the chat view itself - simply click on any date badge in the chat (even the one that appears on top of the chat list when you start scrolling up).
