Description

Keybase GUI Version: 1.0.48-20180516160420+b56432f520

Hi!

Search function:
We seem to be unable to search the text of messages in Keybase or within files in Finder on our Macs. We have a large volume of files and messages so not having the ability to search is really difficult.

Thank you!!

Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported search failure in the Keybase GUI and in Finder on Macs, covering both messages and files. Trace the relevant search entry points and compare the behavior with the expected text search; done means users can search message and file contents successfully.
