Hi everyone,

It’s the moment you’ve all been waiting for.[1] Modmail Search has been something that has been *looong* requested, and you’ve all been mighty patient (thank you, truly). We’re super excited to announce that it’s finally available on the newer version of Modmail[2]!

Here is a list of syntax that you can use to search for things in Modmail:

For your reference, we’ve updated the Help Center[3] to include all this information. Do you have any query templates that you can share in the comments with your fellow mods? For example: `message_author:d3fect AND action_types:muted AND action_author:d3fect` will give you all the mute actions that were taken by u/d3fect on message threads that u/d3fect participated in.

We hope this change will make Modmail much more functional for y’all. Give it a whirl and let us know your thoughts!

Thank you!

I've got an issue with scrolling. After I've scrolled down a few "pages", sometimes the content seems to get moved up above the screen and as I keep scrolling, new content (modmails) get loaded in that area and I cannot read 90% of the messages.

I don't know if this is related to search, but I think it is. Hard for me to provide a gif without a tool I can blank out messages/usernames.

As soon as I scroll down a bit, new messages instantly load but only in the content area where you can see that existing message is (top of screen).

This is freaking nice! Fast as well so far (until it isn't because everyone is trying at the same time). To be clear `last_mod_update` and `last_update` both are also date parameters?

edit: Also pretty please so we don't have to do it with toolbox. Put the parameters on a nice popup windows that shows up when you hover over a question mark next to search.... or something like that anyway ;)

Please update the (Help) link on the bottom left of modmail to a more up to date link to reddithelp.com. Currently it's pointing towards zendesk. An updated link to search info and folder info would be helpful.

Thank you for developing and delivering a tool that's specifically designed to help moderators. It is truly appreciated.

There are aspects of this implementation that I feel are unintuitive / tedious. Some examples from r/Fitness modmail that illustrate this:

Thank you for this!!

Next up, a report button to escalate serious issues like ban evasion, doxxing, illegal content, etc. to the admins for review. Please make it happen!
