Trying to search for Special Notices today, I could see in the Activity pane "sent special message" as vs. "sent message."? But I couldn't see how to search for special notices.? The drop down for search is SO long, but nowhere special message to search by.??

What am I missing?

Just search by hashtag. Scroll down and you will see the tag.?

Hi Jonathan,

There are currently two terms used for the same thing and special notice shows on the activity log as a special message. I've highlighted this inconsistency in (the official suggestion group) and also suggested that an additional search criterion is added to the Actions field drop-down in the Activity Log view..

Frances' suggestion about searching by hashtag will work from the messages screen but assumes that you have tagged your special notices/messages with one.

Jonathan -- From where I stand, you don't seem to be missing anything.

• Special notice emails are sent with [Special] pre-pended to the subject line, but there's no such indicator in the message archive.
• As you noted, the activity log displays "sent special message" but provides no way to search on it.
• Per Andy and Frances, hashtags may be set up to be "sent as special", but that doesn't help identify special notices sent in other ways (e.g.: group guidelines, calendar reminders, manually).?

Might be a good suggestion for beta. Personally, if it's a choice between searching the activity log or having some kind of indicator/filter available directly within the message archive, I'd prefer the latter (maybe "Special" could be added to the pull-down menu at upper left).

Regards,
Bruce
