# Message search — handoff
## Summary
In-room and cross-room message search UI: query input, filters, result grouping, and navigation to found events. Uses Matrix `/search` or client-side APIs via `useMessageSearch`.
## User-facing behavior
- Search modal or page with text query
- Filters: room, sender, date (see SearchFilters)
- Results grouped by room/period
- Click result → jump to event in timeline
## Architecture
```
MessageSearch.tsx
→ useMessageSearch.ts
→ SearchInput, SearchFilters, SearchResultGroup
Router may mount search under client routes
```
## Key files
| Path | Role |
|------|------|
| `cinny/src/app/features/message-search/MessageSearch.tsx` | Main UI |
| `cinny/src/app/features/message-search/useMessageSearch.ts` | Search logic |
| `cinny/src/app/features/message-search/SearchInput.tsx` | Query field |
| `cinny/src/app/features/message-search/SearchFilters.tsx` | Filters |
| `cinny/src/app/features/message-search/SearchResultGroup.tsx` | Result list |
## Data model
Ephemeral search state in component hooks. No persistence.
## Dependencies
- `matrix-js-sdk` search API
- Homeserver must support message search (server-dependent)
## Integration points
- **routing-and-navigation**: search routes in home/space
- **room-timeline**: navigation to event id
- **global-search**: separate modal feature — see that handoff
## Testing
### Manual
1. Search known keyword; results appear.
2. Apply room filter; results scoped.
3. Click result; timeline scrolls to event.
4. Test on homeserver without search — expect graceful error.
### Automated
- None
## Known issues & gotchas
- Server-side search availability varies by deployment
- Encrypted room search limited by server/indexing policy
- Pagination in `useMessageSearch` — check for duplicate results
## Future work
- Client-side fallback search for small rooms
- Highlight match in timeline
