Signal-desktop: Enhancement Request: Search Across Conversations
I have noticed that the Apple iOS messaging app has the ability to search for text strings across all conversations, which is quite helpful. It would be nice to have the same feature here on the desktop app.

Slightly different from 367 (which discusses searching within one thread) - this request is for searching _across all threads_.

853 is about searching conversations (duplicate of this)
367 is about searching messages inside a conversation
In the end, they are almost the same. If a user wants to search for "Wubbalubbadubdub" it's not good ux to get a result "'Wubbalubbadubdub' is found in conversation Y" and not shown the exact message(s).
