  • Searches for messages in the specified channel that match the provided pattern.
  • Usage:
    • ,msearch <channel> <pattern>
  • Examples:
    • ,msearch #general error
    • ,msearch #random hello

Details

• Pattern Matching:
  • The search pattern is case-insensitive.
  • Regular expressions are supported, allowing for complex search criteria.
• Example Usages:
  • Search for messages containing “error” in #general channel:

    • This will list all messages containing the word “error” in the #general channel.
  • Search for messages containing “hello” in #random channel:
    • ,msearch #random hello
