Search Talk

You can search text within Talk to find posts, messages, files, links, and content posted by specific groups and users.

Search using keywords, including user and group names. Use @mentions and #hashtags. Add a filter to refine the search results. Select a date range to see results posted within a set time period. The most relevant content that matches your search displays at the top of the results.

Guidelines

  • The search scans text in groups, posts, messages, and other content.
  • Comments are not included in search results.
  • File names are returned in search results, but the content of files is not searched.
