!Friendica Support Good morning everyone point I wanted to ask you if there was a way to search on Friendica in order to find all the messages that contain a certain string of text and that were published by a certain account. Basically the type of search that on mastodon works like this:

From: @account@instance text

Have a look at the keywords for the channels: /help/Channels

@Michael Vogel Yes, I am well aware of all the potential offered by channels to operate advanced searches, with exceptional filters.
I was just wondering if there was the possibility of operating this type of search with the standard search box.

Anyway, thank you for your answer

Well, you can use the channel keywords for the regular search as well.

@Michael Vogel I was convinced that this was not possible. Every time I tried to do this, it would fail.

I thought it was because the search box did not support the expected channel syntax. So can you confirm that the search box supports the same channel searches?
I'm starting to think this is a configuration issue unique to my instance.

When your instance it the current release and when "search in tags" is not activated, then it should work.

@Michael Vogel I confirm that I have activated the global search and not just the one by hashtag.

PS: I'm about to send you a direct message
