@koolinus This is true. The search is terrible. For me, the biggest issue is that as a chat platform is not inclusive.. rather it tries its best to exclude everyone who is NOT on apple platforms. As human who likes to communicate, I do not want to be pushed towards any particular group. I prefer to be inclusive.
