discord.js - Imagine ❄•2w ago

search function

Can the discord bot use the discord search function? For example, from the user:, after:, in the channel: Can you write an example code? I will be grateful! My code below works, though not exactly as it should, but if, for example, there are about 10 thousand messages in the channel, then it will take a very long time(

const START_DATE = new Date('2024-12-11');

 async function fetchAllMessages(channelId, userId) {
  const channel = await interaction.client.channels.fetch(channelId);
  let allMessages = [];
  let lastMessageId = null;

  while (true) {
    const options = { limit: 100 };
    if (lastMessageId) {
      options.before = lastMessageId;
    }

    const fetchedMessages = await channel.messages.fetch(options);
    const messagesArray = Array.from(fetchedMessages.values());
    const userMessages = messagesArray.filter(msg => msg.createdAt >= START_DATE && msg.author.id === userId);
    allMessages = allMessages.concat(userMessages);

    if (fetchedMessages.size < 100 || userMessages.length === 0) {
      break;
    }

    lastMessageId = messagesArray[messagesArray.length - 1].id;
  }

  return allMessages;
}

const START_DATE = new Date('2024-12-11');

 async function fetchAllMessages(channelId, userId) {
  const channel = await interaction.client.channels.fetch(channelId);
  let allMessages = [];
  let lastMessageId = null;

  while (true) {
    const options = { limit: 100 };
    if (lastMessageId) {
      options.before = lastMessageId;
    }

    const fetchedMessages = await channel.messages.fetch(options);
    const messagesArray = Array.from(fetchedMessages.values());
    const userMessages = messagesArray.filter(msg => msg.createdAt >= START_DATE && msg.author.id === userId);
    allMessages = allMessages.concat(userMessages);

    if (fetchedMessages.size < 100 || userMessages.length === 0) {
      break;
    }

    lastMessageId = messagesArray[messagesArray.length - 1].id;
  }

  return allMessages;
}
