Its been a long time when Twitter has introduced the DM search bar but yesterday the company has introduced this option to android users as well. Now, both iOS and Android users can use this option. Although, since 2019, iOS users are using this feature.
Searching through the search bar is really helpful for the users. However, it would be great if users can find it through messaging content. It will be interesting to know when the company will bring this feature.

We’ve brought the DM search bar to Android and are rolling out an improved version that lets you search for all of your old convos, not just the most recent ones.
Waiting for the option to search your DMs for message content? We’re working on releasing that later this year! https://t.co/wAQxSokJt6

This sort of feature will increase the usage of DM over the platform. For instance, a user can easily find all the other users who have the same question on a particular product or service. It is going to be based on certain keywords and queries.
