Search is one of my favorite parts of Slack.

It assumes that I want to search within a certain channel or messages with a certain person when that's where I'm clicking the search bar from, but I can quickly erase that if desired. Files, messages, and people, are all searchable. It's pretty powerful and extremely user-friendly (most non-techies would have trouble with the syntax for specifying who a message should be from while searching).

Meanwhile, with Gmail, I discovered yesterday that when I'm part of a mailing list attached to an email address (let's say [e-mail]), and I search an email address that was cc'd on the [e-mail] email, nothing comes up. Resulted in a lot of wasted time.
