Is it possible to make chat searchable? There is a LOT of information here that addresses issues and questions at different levels of familiarity with Silverbullet. So, a new user may skip those discussions earlier then find them useful later. Making chat searchable would eliminate a lot of the repeats, at least for those of us who understand how to use such functionality effectively.

There is a general search with a magnifying glass icon at the top of the page. Unfortunately, it only searches the categories. Only discourse can make such a change.
