Old messages, a picture someone reposted, a clip by what was said in it, server facts, just ask her and she’ll go dig it up.
The one idea: Tootsies can search through channel history and look up server facts on demand. Everything is read-only and limited to what she can already see, same as any member.
You ask in plain words. She scans what she can see. You get real matches with jump links, reaction counts, and attachment URLs.
Message search
find anything in channel history
Ask in natural language: “find where someone posted that trade link”, “what did @alex say about the finale”, “pull up the clips in #media.” She filters exactly like Discord’s own search UI.
Each result comes back with the author, channel, timestamp, reaction counts, and the real attachment link, so you can jump straight there or share it.
She can also look at an image she finds. If a search hits a picture you want to know more about, ask her to look at it and she’ll describe what’s in it, no need to click through yourself.
Image search
find pictures by what they ARE or SAY
Message search reads a message’s typed text, not the pictures themselves. So there’s a separate way to search the images, three kinds:
“Who originally posted this” compares the actual picture, not its caption, and returns copies oldest-first, so the top hit is the likely original.
who posted it
“who else posted this” / “who posted this originally” — reply to a pic (or drop its link) and she reverse-image-searches for other copies, oldest first, so the top one is the likely original.
by its text
“find the screenshot that says X” — she reads the words written inside images and finds the one that matches.
by what it shows
“the pic of the dog in the pool” — she matches on what the image depicts, not any text on it.
how wide
By default she checks this channel. Say “in #channel” for one room, or “everywhere” for the whole server.
“Who posted this” digs as deep as it takes to catch an old original; the text / depicts searches look at recent images, and she’ll tell you if an older one might be past what she checked.
Clip search
find videos + voice notes by what was SAID
Shared videos and voice notes get transcribed, so you can search their spoken words, not just the message text. Ask “the clip where someone talked about the trade”, “which video mentioned the layoffs”, or “the voice note where X said Y” and she returns who posted it, newest first, with a quoted snippet from the transcript.
Videos and voice notes get transcribed, so she finds the clip by its spoken words and hands back who posted it with a snippet.
What a result gives you
anatomy of one rich hit
Every match is more than just the message text. Here’s what comes back on a single hit, enough to quote it, share it, or jump straight to the thread.
A hit isn’t just the text, you get the real attachment URL, the reaction tally, and a direct jump link so you can land in the thread in one click.
Read-only, nothing sneaky
she looks; she never touches
Searching and looking up server facts are purely observational. Tootsies reads exactly what any member can see and never modifies, deletes, or escalates anything.
No elevated permissions, no hidden writes. She searches the same channels any member can read and hands the results straight back to you.
Server lookups
facts about the server itself
Ask about structure, not history: “when did @alex join”, “how many people are here”, “who reacted to that message.” She reads the server’s own data, not channel logs.
All of this is read-only, she reads the same facts Discord’s own UI shows any member.
The boundary
what she can and can’t reach
She only ever reads, and only what she can already see. If she’s not in a private channel, she can’t see it. She never changes anything.
The left side is exactly what any member of this server can see. The right side is structurally unreachable, not a policy, just physics.

look up who joined when
list roles & who has them
describe a found image
show who reacted to a post
she won’t do this
read private channels
