Searching Text Messages in iOS 5

[theBigD23]

Hello... when searching for text messages in the current iOS 4, it only searches for messages that are not behind the "load earlier messages" wall. If I search for a message that is in the "load earlier messages" section, the message will not be searched. If I click the button and it happens to be in the list now and I search, it will be found. Has iOS 5 added the ability to search absolutely all text messages? Thanks.

at the moment there seems to be a bug with searches in messages.app and it causes the iphone to crash, hopefully this'll be sorted in beta 2

In beta 7 it actually searches all your text message but when you tap on the result it brings you to the most recent thread in the conversation...hoping it's a bug...

I no longer have ios5 but back on beta 3 i noticed that iMessages were searched completely but text messages were still only searched if they were visible and not hidden behind the load more button.

Looks like the GM does not search the whole thread anymore....bummer
