I've not been happy with Slack search. Slack in general is a black hole, which is its main redeeming feature. Things just dissappear, and people understand it's a lossy channel. Several times I look at my phone, see some notifications, I glance at them and try to make a mental note to reply, then when I get to work those messages are gone, buried in the chat stream since they have been seen on my phone. There isn't even a way to view all your past notifications in slack, or all the notifications you got in the last 24 hours. At least I don't know of a way to do that -- perhaps some of the slackers here can point it out. Once you get used to it and set expectations that this isn't email but shouting into a crowd, then you can regain some productivity. "Sorry, didn't see that, I must have scrolled past it." :)
