This is useful when you already know which conversation contains the information you need and want a faster way to scan messages.
{% endhint %}

### How Find in Conversation Works

When you enter a keyword or phrase:

* Glue searches messages in the currently open conversation only.
* Results are not currently exact match only. Partial matches are also included.
* The total number of matches appears in the "find" bar and you can arrow up/down to see more results.
* The keyword and message containing it are highlighted in the conversation view.

### Navigate Between Matches

Use the arrow buttons in the Find in Conversation bar to move between matching messages.

* **Up arrow:** Go to the previous match
* **Down arrow:** Go to the next match

Glue automatically scrolls to each matching message as you move through results.
