Messages are weird. I will double-check, but companion node exposes the sender within the message body (e.g. "Username: My Message".

Should be able to add date/time filters though.

Going to close this. We could filter by "sending node", but only for direct messages to one of the receiver nodes. Messages to public channel are simply prefixed with the node contacts advertised name. Similar situation for the "sending user".

Date filtering is pretty pointless as we automatically remove messages/nodes/advertisements after 30 days (data retention policy), so any date filters would be limited in scope.

I have removed the "Channel" filter as the chances of having all the "receiver nodes" plus everyones companion nodes synced (channel number and encryption keys), we should concentrate on displaying "public" (CH0) messages.

Possible to add a search on the body of the message instead? I often try to scroll back to find a link or similar that was posted
