One of the biggest issues for me is that you can’t use ‘in:#channel’ anymore in searches for some inexplicable reason. But only on the mobile app — it works fine on desktop! If you could do that it would be fine.

there are now two different search buttons, very intuitive i know, one is channel specific - the one you see when you're chatting in a channel (basically a pre-set in:channel for dumb people), and a universal server wide one that's at the very top of the channel list, you can still od in:channel in there, but by default it searches all channels

at least i hope that's the case, if it's not i'll riot

Huh, go figure. Thanks for the info! I honestly never would have found that myself.

I still think it should be possible to use in:channel on the channel-specific search though. One less button press and it can't be that confusing UX-wise since you have clear intent when doing it (if anything, the fact that the two searches work differently has to be more confusing UX-wise).
