Google has taken steps to improve the search functionality that's within the Android Messages application. Google says searching by contact or type of content should bring up a richer set of results. Moving forward, tapping on the search icon will bring up a short list of your recent contacts in addition to the search bar. For quick sorting, tap a name and Messages will reveal your messaging history with that person, including both private and group conversations. Photos, videos, addresses, and links will be included in the results. Using the search bar to seek out specific types of content, including photos or addresses should be simpler with this tool. Google says these improvements are rolling out to Android Messages this week.
