A search function in Telegrams

Postby Funkadelia » Mon Aug 14, 2017 9:55 pm

Would it be possible to add a search function to telegrams?

I was searching my "sent" folder today, and I was trying to find a specific nation that I'd sent a telegram to. It was really difficult to find, and I'd imagine it'd be hard for other people sending high volumes of telegrams. It'd be nice to search for senders/recipients as well as specific search terms in our telegrams! Is this at all possible?

Yes I agree this would be a good idea to implement, but I can't give you a timeline.

But it is planned at some future point, whenever that may be?

How useful would the ability to review statistics of what nations you've telegrammed, how much, and when (and searching by sender or recipient) be without the ability to search the text of telegrams?

Could that be one of the features from NS++ that [v] suggested might carry well over to vanilla NS? :P

I'd like to be able to see my conversation history with a player, often the Conversation button doesn't show the whole conversation when you end up replying to different TGs from a player or they just send a reply without replying to the previous TG. Also is kinda useful to know if I've talked to someone before.

It's been on my moderate-priority ToDo list for a long time. Definitely would be useful.

Yeah sometimes when I'm dealing with multiple conversations (I find this occurs during campaigns, etc) I'll get a TG but not remember what we were talking about, and so have to dig through stuff to find out.

Would absolutely love to see something like this. It's the perennial suggestion too, I think I've made a thread (maybe even two, by accident) on this exact topic.
