Search every Discuss conversation instantly

Full-text search across every channel, group and direct message you can access — filter by author, date, conversation and attachments, then jump straight to the exact message in context.

The problem

Odoo Discuss holds months of decisions, customer promises and shared files, but there is no real way to find any of it. Users scroll channel by channel or re-ask a question that was already answered, burning minutes on every “where did we say that” moment.

The solution

Discuss Search adds one search console that spans every conversation a user can access. Keyword search with highlighted matches, filters for author, date, conversation and attachments, and a one-click jump into the live conversation turn hours of scrolling into a single search.

Capabilities

Everything you need to find a message

Every capability below is implemented in the module.

01

Cross-channel search

One query spans every channel, group and direct message you can access, scanned in a single search console — no more hunting conversation by conversation.

02

Highlighted keyword matches

Matching keywords are highlighted directly in the results list, so you recognize the right message before you even open it.

03

Filter by author

Narrow results to messages sent by a specific person — ideal for “what did they tell the customer” moments.

04

Filter by date range

Scope a search to a specific window of time, speeding up the reconstruction of a decision trail.

05

Filter by conversation & type

Search within a specific channel, group or direct message thread, or restrict results to a conversation type.

06

Attachment-aware search

Find messages that carry files by searching the attachment name, turning a forgotten document into a two-second lookup.

07

Jump to conversation

Open any result directly in its place inside the live Discuss conversation, with the full surrounding context.

08

Access-respecting results

Every search runs as the current user, so private direct messages and restricted channels never leak into someone else’s results.
