How can I see other results (matches) in Messages on Mavericks?

I have a long message thread/conversation on my Mac (it's an iMessage conversation) that spans back several months now. I am trying to find all messages with a particular word in the message.


Example: I want to find all the messages in my Mac with the word "LOL" in. I type "LOL" in the search box in the Messages application. The result says that I have 300 matches, but when I click on the thread/conversation it only lets me see the most recent message sent or received containing the word "LOL"


How can I see previous messages containing a matched search term without scrolling through the entire message thread?


Seriously the message thread/conversation I'm talking about is HUGE. It is so big that it takes up over 300MB in my iPhone's storage... So going through it to find a particular message or two is going to be a nightmare just by scrolling up/down all day!


Can anybody help?

MacBook Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9.1)
