Google Messages is preparing its biggest search overhaul yet

[phillynews215]

TL;DR

• Google Messages is testing a search homepage that previews shared photos, videos, links, and places.
• Search could soon list every matching text and let you search within a specific conversation directly from the main page.
• Google is also testing swipeable media results and redesigned pages for in-chat searches, links, and places.

Digging up an address, photo, or years-old texts in Google Messages can quickly turn into a search expedition. But Google appears to be working on a substantial search redesign that puts more of your shared content up front, lets you search within a specific chat from the main search page, and even shows every matching message without sending you hopping through conversations.
