Google Chat’s Main Menu (Left-Side Panel)
Show or hide the list of chats and spaces on the left side of the page.
In Google Chat https://chat.google.com, click the Search in chat and rooms bar on top.
In this example, we’re searching for the word “hungry.”
This brings up two results – one is a message in the “Meow When Hungry” chat room, where we sent the message “Hi boys! Meow here when hungry!”.
We also got another result from a direct message to Rocky Boy, where we sent the message “Hi Rocky! Are you hungry?”.
Clicking Go to thread under a search result will take you directly to the chat message.
Clicking the options on top allows you to narrow down the scope of your search.
For example, you can click one of the icons, such as Me, Images, Video, Link, etc., to look for a specific type of content.
Clicking someone’s profile picture gets the search to only display content sent by the person you clicked. In this example, we searched for “meow” and clicked Petey Parker’s profile picture. The search results brought up two separate messages that included “meow” in the Meow When Hungry chat room.
