I wondered this too.

Just tried it on https://chat.zulip.org:

So far, it seems it doesn't support exact phrase search: Searching for "what" with our without quotes produces no results. Slack finds the results.

Searching for `"option"` in quotes also finds `options`, so I'm not sure if exact, non-fuzzy search is possible.

https://zulip.com/help/search-for-messages suggests that there is no support for exact-search or case-sensitive search.




Thanks for actually doing the research!

Until some other team chat offers a good search, there's no way I'd consider anything besides Slack if it's up to me.


very nice workaround with zulip — it has official exporter (zulip-archive) that creates static html of all accessible streams (and with a trivial change all PMs too). Which makes reading/searching a local operation.
