Since I wanted to use e/OS because it is a deGoogled OS, I would like not to use the Google message app, but the native one (forked from QKSMS)
However, it does not offer a search engine to search inside the conversation, whereas Google app does.
So I am looking for a easy way to synchronyse my SMS with my PC (I use XUbuntu) so that I can use the search engine of my PC
I would prefer the synchronisation be via USB or Bluetooth, instead of WIFI, and of course respect itself my privacy
Thank you for your answer!
Indeed there is a search window, but I fear it does not search inside the SMS conversation, it give you only the whole conversation
Thanks again!
No, it allows you to search for a keyword for example and shows you all the conversations where this keyword is found. If you click on a particular conversation you can see the number of iterations where the keyword appears and navigate from one to another with an arrow at the top of the screen.
My version of Message : 3.9.4
Both KDE Plasma and Xfce are what’s called desktop environments (or DE) which composes the graphic user interface of your Linux distribution. You’re using Ubuntu with Xfce right now, also known as Xubuntu. Ubuntu can also use KDE Plasma and is called Kubuntu. You can easily make the switch from Xfce to KDE Plasma. Try this guide for instance: https://bytexd.com/how-to-install-kde-plasma-or-kubuntu-in-ubuntu/
In all, KDE is the most lovely DE

Indeed the GUI for SMS is very basic, and the messages synchronisation is slow… But for the other functions (file sharing, notifications, PC remote control…) it works well.
