[FEATURE]: Implement message search (Cmd+F / Ctrl+F) in the Desktop App #19143

Description

Feature hasn't been suggested before.

  • I have verified this feature I'm about to request hasn't been suggested before.

Describe the enhancement you want to request

Currently, there is no way to quickly locate specific information within a long session in the desktop app. Users have to manually scroll through history to find specific keywords or previous instructions, which is inefficient for long-running threads.

It would be very helpful to have a "Find" functionality implemented for the desktop app, triggered by the standard Cmd+F (macOS) or Ctrl+F (Windows/Linux) shortcuts.

Key features should probably include:

  • A search bar overlay that appears upon using the shortcut
  • Text highlighting for all matches within the currently opened session
  • Automatic scrolling to the nearest occurrence if none are currently visible
  • "Next" and "Previous" navigation to jump between matches

I am aware of issue #4714, which tracks this same functionality for the TUI. I think it makes sense to track the desktop app's implementation independently.
