I've added support for searching through messages loaded within a room's scrollback, but it should also be possible to perform a search across multiple rooms when trying to find a message whose context you can't recall. Matrix supports server-side search (spec), but this doesn't work for encrypted messages. The client should search through encrypted rooms itself, and use server-side search to find content in non-encrypted rooms.
