Search in history of all contacts

[sander]

There should be a way for people to search in the history of all contacts (also those not in the roster). I still need to think where this feature should be added and how it should work to be as userfriendly as possible.

Searching based on date should be also possible (e.g. the last 3 days, from 15 October until 24 November)

i add this variant:

roster should display in evidence who wrote me today (or yesterday, or whathever), sorted by date/time (instead of number of messages).
In fact, it happens to me (especially when chatting with lots of people at the same time) that:
- a chat window appears and in that moment i'm just pressing ESC; puff, the message has gone, and i can't know who wrote me.
or, as another example:
- when closing a chat window, i mistakenly close the chat window under it, and i have no idea of who wrote me.

Actually i resolve this problem examining the "history" filesystem folder, sorting it by date-time, and trying to figure out which one i still haven't responded.

Hey, maybe could be interesting a "who's waiting for my answer" flag in the roster.
