Add support for exporting own messages only from timeframe

[razvanphp]

My usecase is rather interesting, but maybe also useful for other freelancers.

I want to be able to export all my messages from last month so I can calculate my hourly timesheet for invoicing.

I can easily select them in search, by choosing from:me and filter:range but pagination is awful and I can't programatically work on the dates and hours.

Thank you!

Seems like /api/search.modules.messages endpoint has this functionality, can we use it already with arbitrary parameters/query?

Hey @razvanphp, thank you for the suggestion. I think once I get the v3 out, this would be a great feature to have, I'll add it in v3.1 milestone.

Added in v3.0.0

You can try it by checking out the v3 branch, and running

go run ./cmd/slackdump search messages "search terms supported by slack, i.e. user:@blah"

Yes! it worked, thank you!

Now I have to write my own script for parsing and calculations 🙂
