The current Search in Inbox for Manychat Desktop doesn’t work.

So here you can see I have an open conversation with a person called Olatz:
 


However, when I search for “olatz”, I get no results:
 


In the conversation with Olatz I even mentioned her name, so it’s not just in the Contact name but also in the conversation itself:
 


However, still Manychat returns NO RESULTS.

Support replied that the search functionality in the Inbox is designed to lonly through  messages sent by your contacts, not messages sent from Manychat — whether by a team member or a Live Chat agent.

But it doesn’t make any sense. I cannot believe this behavior is by design, because if it is, then the whole Search feature is useless. No search works like this.

And in the phone it works! If I search for “olatz” in my phone, it returns me the contact:
 


Can anybody from the Product Team take a look? Because this really needs to be improved.

I cannot believe I’m paying 99$ for a Search that doesn’t work.

Thanks,
Ángel.-

Hi ​@angeliti I think your request makes sense, you can create a post in this community as an “idea” so your suggestion can get votes and be more visible for the product team.
