Description

Hello there,

I would strongly plead for a search feature of chat messages, as this seemingly is not part of Keybase yet. Maybe this has technical reasons. Keybase is an excellent software so far, but IMHO it's not usable for any team-related communication yet without the ability to quickly search/filter past messages.

Are there any plans/ideas for a solution?

Thank you very much for you hard work, looking forward.
