load large amounts of scrollback at once?

[setharnold]

Hello, since the mattermost search functionality is not helping me find a conversation I need, I would like to just read all the conversation between eg September first and today. This involves hitting enter on the message Load older messages ↥↥↥ several hundred times.

I wish there was a way to say "load the previous ten thousand lines" or "load the previous week" or "load the previous month" etc.

Thanks

Out of curiosity, do you know how you'd solve this problem in the official web client? Other than being able to search for a message by search term, I don't know how it would handle a situation like this.

I'm sorry I missed your comment @jtdaugherty -- unfortunately I don't know how I would approach this in the web client. Matterhorn handles this case significantly better than the web interface already.

I'm just hoping that instead of loading ten or twenty messages at a time, it'd be easier to load thousands at a time.

Thanks
