I haven't used zulip, especially at a workplace, but the thing that Slack does so much better than everything else I've tried, is search.
How is Zulip for search for large orgs with millions of messages? Discord doesn't hold a candle to Slack.
For context, I'm not talking just about the ease and speed of searches, but also about the support for basic filters, exact phrase searching (Discord doesn't have this) or bypassing fuzzy search (Discord always fuzzy searches on the individual words of your search words)
- nh2 3y agoI wondered this too. Just tried it on https://chat.zulip.org https://chat.zulip.org: So far, it seems it doesn't support exact phrase search: Searching for "what" with our without quotes produces no results. Slack finds the results. Searching for `"option"` in quotes also finds `options`, so I'm not sure if exact, non-fuzzy search is possible. https://zulip.com/help/search-for-messages https://zulip.com/help/search-for-messages suggests that there is no support for exact-search or case-sensitive search.
- pcthrowaway 3y agoThanks for actually doing the research! Until some other team chat offers a good search, there's no way I'd consider anything besides Slack if it's up to me.
