Description
Description:
Use the search function or a link to go to a past message (e.g. from a year ago). Try to scroll up. Messages older than that old message should be fetched and displayed. Instead, rocketchat fetches messages older than the most recent message (e.g. from the previous hour). This is highly impractical as you need to go through the entire history if you want to see "very" old messages. Note that going down in the history (loading messages newer than that "very" old message) works without problem.

Research direction
No source file or test is named. First reproduce the search or linked-message scenario in the browser or desktop client, then trace the message-history loading entry point. Done means scrolling up from a historical message fetches messages older than that message rather than messages older than the newest message.
