I think I'm more uncomfortable with the idea of entire message histories walking around on disks of laptops and phones (not to mention that's a giant problem on phones because of storage/horsepower) than I am with the idea of slack being able to read everything...

Well, the clients could just keep indexes rather than the actual history, and then fetch the specific messages as needed when the search is performed.

There are better ways to do search, hash keywords then you can just search the hashes
