It would be super nice to have a search feature in private message box, so we can easily search and find specific messages when we need.

I really need this one. Whenever I have to look for an old message, I need to go page by page and sometimes even miss the message when it is right in front of me because of all the other messages up & down. I always think about a search feature for the messages. May this soon come into effect.

Select your inbox, click Choose All at the bottom, and then you can use filters to sift through messages, as shown below.

This won't help in searching for a particular word.

The search feature could extend the functionality to inbox. The filter is good for checking discussions with particular members. The search function is even more powerful. For example, if I discussed about Youtube with someone I don't remember, then it's difficult to go through all the messages. The search function comes handy in such cases as I can search for the word "Youtube" and check all my threads and comments. As the inbox grows, it's difficult to go through tens of pages checking all messages.

This is true @ContentExpert Just using the filters now and the results are problematic for what I am looking for. Need ability search using a specific keyword

That is something that can be extended to the inbox and is in fact a good idea, perhaps this can be added in the future, would certainly be easy to enable.
I am afraid that is not yet possible but this thread will be seen by those in charge and the idea considered, this would definitely be a useful feature to have, especially when managing lots of messages or ones dating back months to years ago.

Having short-term memory loss on top of having bad short-term memory is tragic, perhaps set reminders and create lists or maybe even hire a VA to manage your library of an inbox, fresh air and exercise are also great remedies to stimulating brain endorphins and improving memory.what happens when you areslightlyvery dumb like me
and cannot remember who sent it to you but vaguely the title.

I'll bring this up to the rest of the team later today to see what can be done.
In the meantime, try organising your conversations inbox using the folders features and by doing as @ContentExpert suggested. Both will make it easier to find the conversations and messages you're looking for in the future.
Edit: I discussed this with the rest of the team. It's possible, although not something we're going to work on at this time. Still, thank you for bringing this up.
