How many times have you mentally pressed Ctrl+F keys to find an important piece of information in your WhatsApp conversations. Well, it looks like that the Facebook-owned messaging app has decided to make things easier for you, albeit quite discreetly.

The new WhatsApp update for Android (version 2.12.34) that brought Material Design changes to the app wasn’t merely cosmetic. It now lets users perform keyword search through all their conversations.

In previous updates, keyword search was limited to contacts and individual conversations. For example, if you wanted to run a search for the word, “burger,” you would be required to open a particular conversation to find that word. But the new update allows you to simply type the keyword in the search bar, and you can find all conversations featuring that word. Isn’t that a great news?
