Search
The search box in Mattermost brings back results from any channel of which you’re a member. No results are returned from channels where you are not a member - even if they are open channels.
Some things to know about search:
- Multiple search terms are connected with “OR” by default. Typing in
Mattermost websitereturns results containing “Mattermost” or “website” - You can use quotes to return search results for exact terms, like
"Mattermost website"will only return messages containing the entire phrase"Mattermost website"and not return messages with onlyMattermostorwebsite - You can use the
*character for wildcard searches that match within words. For example: Searching forrea*brings back messages containingreach,reasonand other words starting withrea.
