i wanted to search specific word/sentence from my past chat. I used global search but then it was only giving me a specific chat but was not redirecting me to that particular word or sentence. So, i had to scroll up a lot in my chat to find that particular word or sentence.

Is there any easy way?

  Hi Hardik,

  There is not an easy way to do that I'm afraid. You'd need to use Ctrl + F to search the chat, but if the word you're searching for is higher up in the thread you may have to scroll up for a bit before you do this.

  This seems like a Defect to me - the Global Search will identify the Chat(s) that contain the search phrase - but clicking on the entry in the search result takes you to the most recent message in the chat.

  If the chat is with a colleague and message every day, and the message containing the search phrase was a year ago, then it can take many minutes of scrolling up until the message containing the search phrase is loaded.

  I'd like to use Podio as my one-stop shop communication platform, but this is a big weakness compared to Slack, or even Skype.

  This is an old request, it really would be great to have a search-like feature similar to Skype. We are trying to make our devs only use Podio for all chat and discussion, as opposed to Skype, but when they need to reference a request or something pertaining to the task at hand it is very cumbersome and time consuming to find what you are specifically looking for.

   

  Hope that can be improved soon.
