# Search & Organization

Find messages fast; organize with stars and pins.

# Search Messages & Files

## Search everywhere

- Use the search bar in the header to search across rooms and DMs.
- Use filters like `from:@alice`, `in:#general`, `has:link`, `before:2025-01-01`.

## Room‑scoped search

- Click into a room, then use the header search to filter within that room.

## Tips

- Combine filters: `from:@me in:#release has:file`.
- Click a result to jump to the message in context.

# Stars & Pins

## Stars (personal)

- Star any message to bookmark it for yourself.
- Open your Starred list from the sidebar or avatar menu.

## Pins (room‑wide)

- Pin important messages/files so everyone in the room can find them.
- Access pins from the room header → Pins.
