Glaring omission?

Just curious as to why Apple didn't include search in the messaging app. You could search by date, content, sender etc

Do Google like manufacturers including a built in search in their OSes? If I type a search into Spotlight and it shows me the results on the same page what does Google get out of it? There are no ads.

Like the Prē

why would you need to search? just go to the person and load the chat?

tons of messages within each conversation. Thats a lot of scrolling to find that address

here's a workaround. It'll take a sec, but its not that bad


just copy the message in the sms message when you receive it. Clearly if someone sends you an address or a phone number or something, it's info you will use eventually.

so just copy the sms and paste it to notes. Job done.

What are you talking about? Spotlight search has nothing to do with Google. And Google doesn't have a patent on "search" (that would be ridiculous), so there's nothing they can do about it.

Does Google like it when I search through my sock drawer to find a matching pair of socks without using Google Search?

I meant a built in Google search like the Pre. I edited the word Google out while fixing spelling or something.

If you took as much care reading the post as you did belittling it, you'd see the poster was referring to google search results being displayed in the Spotlight window if that functionality was added.

The Pre, however, gives you a google link where you can type something in and then go to google with one press. None of the results show up their "universal" search, it just links you to that google search on the web.
