Q: Is there a quick way to go to a message date without scrolling?

I am looking for some SMS messages that were sent almost a year ago.  Is there a quicker way to get back to those dates without having to scroll through all of the text?

    Hi,

     

    Periodically the Chat is Time Stamped.

    I tried using the Search with the way it displays on my Mac (British layout) but this did not turn up anything.

     

    Searching for SMS works but highlights chats that have SMS and when someone mentions in the text.

    Making SMS with and their number does not show anything in my tests.

     

    For me it seems the best Search is to use something you may have spoken about at that time.

     

    If you Save Chats then spotlight may highlight a date quicker.
