Can't quite remember that one piece of information you're confident someone told you on Slack? Try searching for it. One of Slack's key selling points is memory, the ability to look through every conversation your team has ever had. You wanting access to that history is core to the entire business strategy. Getting started with search in Slack can be simple: click the search bar or use a keyboard shortcut, Ctrl+F on PC or CMD+F on Mac. By default, Slack filters your search to include only the channel you're currently looking at, but this restriction can be removed by clearing out the search panel. You can refine your search using the filters in the right-hand sidebar and various operators such as from:, in:, to:, before:, after:, during:, has:star, has:pin, has:link, and has: followed by an emoji's code. Quotation marks can be used to search for a specific phrase, while an asterisk (*) after a partial word will show all words that include that part, and a minus sign (-) in front of a word can exclude results that include it.
