GoKawiilGoogle Messages beta code hints at Samsung Finder search support
Android Authority found code in Google Messages beta version 20260921 suggesting Google is building support for Samsung's Finder search tool to search text messages. The feature is not yet functional and Google Messages currently doesn't appear in Finder's list of supported apps.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
Since Samsung discontinued its own Messages app in the US, users have been pushed onto Google Messages, losing the ability to search texts via Samsung's Finder tool. If Google enables this integration, it could restore that convenience and suggests Google may be aligning Messages more closely with Samsung's system-wide search features, similar to Pixel's cross-app search experience.
