Enhanced Keyword Search and Navigation in Chat Inbox

When a user searches for a specific keyword in the chat inbox, the system navigates to the conversations containing that keyword. Once the chat is opened, the user should be taken to the exact location of the keyword, which must be clearly highlighted.
To enhance usability, the system should automatically retain and restore the scroll position, ensuring the highlighted keyword is immediately visible without requiring additional scrolling. If the keyword appears multiple times in the conversation, the system should provide intuitive navigation controls, such as “Next” and “Previous,” to allow the user to easily cycle through all occurrences.
For a better reading experience, the keyword highlight should be noticeable but not disruptive. This can be achieved using a bright, contrasting color or a subtle animation that gently draws attention without causing distraction.
