Sooner or later you’ll need to dig up something from a while back: an address someone texted you, a customer’s details, a setting you can’t quite place. Rather than scrolling, search takes you straight to it. There are two ways to search in Dialbird.
Searching everything
To look across the whole of Dialbird, click Search in the left-hand sidebar (or press Ctrl+K, or Cmd+K on a Mac). A search box drops down from the top, ready to type in.
Start typing and Dialbird looks everywhere at once, grouping what it finds under clear headings:
- Contacts, matched by name or number
- SMS Messages, matched on the actual words inside your texts
- Team Messages, the same for your internal team chats
- Team Members
- Settings pages
Click a result to jump straight to it. Picking a message takes you into that conversation and lands on the exact message, so you don’t have to scroll to find it. If nothing matches, you’ll see No results found.
Searching inside one conversation
To find something within a single chat, open the conversation and click the magnifying glass at the top. A Search in conversation… box appears.
Type what you’re after and Dialbird finds it within that conversation only, showing a running count like 3 results. Handy for finding the address someone texted you three weeks ago. Last modified on July 15, 2026
