Feature: messages research
The search bar is located next to the audio call button in the header. This feature can be triggered by either pressing Ctrl + F or clicking on the search bar icon. When activated, an animation will reveal the search bar and focus will be placed in the text field for the user to begin typing. A panel will also open on the right side of the screen to display the search results. By default, the search function will look for messages, but there is a button to toggle in a panel to a search for files. If the user has not yet entered any search terms and is in the files search mode, the panel will display all available files. However, if the user is in messages search mode, the panel remains empty.
