Completely agreed on all of these (the lack of search, in particular) is just atrocious. I'd also like to see:
- Improved export functionality on all platforms :: I should be able to export my chats in some readable format from any client.
- More clients :: I should be able to read my Signal messages within emacs.
- Support for non-phone-number identifiers :: I shouldn't need to purchase a new phone number in order to get another Signal account. I completely get how valuable this is in limiting certain forms of abuse, but it also limits certain forms of legitimate use (e.g. Haven).
- Better privacy for contacts :: I shouldn't be sending my contacts to Signal's servers. I don't trust Intel's secure enclave technology any more than I trust Intel's ME. There are ways to discover mutual contacts privately.

Private set intersection (in which two Signal users compare contact lists to see which contacts they have in common, then trade Signal information for them) would work just fine.
