- TazeTSchnitzel 3y agoSlack's search actually had a bug where it would return results with matches inside hidden channel names, highlighting the censored section :)
- kubanczyk 3y agoI don't think it works for private channels. Since, as OP says, non-members occasionally could find the channel, it was probably a public channel. The people who complained were probably "multi-channel guests". They'd see masked-out channel names except where they are explicitly allowed.
- TazeTSchnitzel 3y agoAh, no, they wouldn't have been guests. The organisation was large enough that it had multiple “workspaces” corresponding to different divisions. Channels always belong to a workspace, but some are shared between workspaces. You can only see the channels belonging to or shared with your workspace.
