I absolutely do, it's invaluable to be able to reference old conversations for wisdom that hasn't made it into documentation.

Cool. Do you find it easy to locate? I've struggled with their search at times.

Also, do you end up extracting conversations into docs, or something that's easier to share with your team?

"I've struggled with their search at times."

While you personally may already know this, and this doesn't solve all problems; be sure to look for and read the tiny little mostly-greyed-out link to the search syntax for Slack: https://get.slack.help/hc/en-us/articles/202528808-Search-in... , in particular the "Use search modifiers" section. Slack defaults to a nearly-useless search if you don't feed it things like a channel limitation or something.

Great point, I don't use these nearly enough. Thanks!
