Feature request: Search for role mentions.

Qersojan

It's already possible to go into a server and search messages while using the mentions: to filter by users mentioned or use the from: filter to filter by which user posted. There should be a similar search filter to search for role pings and also search for messages posted by anyone with the specified role. This would be very useful for moderation, and it would also help in servers that use roles for specific interests / genres of content, so for example in a general gaming server I could search by "@StarCraft" and find message that contains a ping of the StarCraft role.

    I wonder why this is the only suggestion for that

    Was about to make a post about this! It would be pretty useful to see where a certain role gets mentioned. While we're at it, this would also be good for searching for mentioning @everyone because that doesn't seem to be a feature either. Hope this gets added soon!

    You can already list a role’s @mentions:
    by pasting the role’s ID into the search field.

    A ~simple way to get a role’s ID is activating Developer Mode in  Settings › Appearance  and then right-clicking the role in a user’s mini-profile pop-up card.

    I'm glad that it's possible to do this via what amounts to a hack, using dev mode and someone in the role's mini profile, but that seems excessive as a way for a general user to use it.

    This is 2 years old but this would be an incredibly useful thing to add.

    Please add this because I miss so many role mentions and need to be able to search for them in the search field.
