First off, thanks a lot ceene for maintaining the package and putting in so much effort to improve upon it!

Regarding suggestions for new/improved features, I actually have one or two:

1.) Since my list of chats is quite long and scrolling through the list is not the smoothest experience (it sometimes even crashes Yappari), I would love it if I could search for a contact in the current chat list by simply starting to type. The exact same function already exists when starting a new chat and selecting/searching a contact. To also add this function to the 'main' window would be really convenient, at least for me, and I can't imagine I'm the only one

2.) Regarding searching, how about the possibility to search through text messages/chat windows for text?

3.) This is not really that important, just a suggestion: The date notation for messages in the chat windows is quite long. Perhaps, in stead of displaying '06/05/15' for the day of yesterday, it could simply display 'Yesterday'? As for messages posted in the current year, you could leave out the year, and just display 'May 1st' instead of '01/05/15' for example? I think this would result in a less cluttered view

Curious to find out what you think about this!
