David Rosa c84bf16b2d help center: Improve documentation on the ? in-app reference.
Adds a sentence at the end of the intro section of each help center
page explaining that you can pull up a Keyboard shortcuts, Message
formatting, and Search filters reference from inside the app.

Adds/updates the in-app help section at the bottom of the page with
instructions for opening the reference.

Fixes #23758.

Alya Abbott ec74416e5d help center: Rewrite /help/search-for-messages.
- Organize search terms into categories.
- To avoid technical-sounding jargon, use the term "filter" rather "operator".
- Be more specific and consistent in describing search queries.
- Change how user search is described, as we now show user name pills.

Lauryn Menard 8410990c42 help-docs: Revise the article on searching for messages.
Updates the first part of the article to discuss the basics of
the search feature. Adds sub-headers / sections to the list of
search operators. Makes the exluding messages a section header
instead of a sub-section of the list.

Lauryn Menard 6f1d9ce466 help-docs: Fix "group-pm-with" format in search for messages article.
Updates the help center article on searching for messages to have
the correct format for the "group-pm-with" operator.

Also, reorders the list so that the private message searches are
all together, and the `streams:public` operator is last so that
it stands out a bit more.

David Rosa f060d5c870 help-docs: Standardize on "corner of the app" instead of "...screen".
The phrasing "corner of the screen" wouldn't be accurate when the user
is doing a split screen or if the window or app is not taking up the
whole screen. Also, the use of "lower/upper" and "top/bottom" is not
consistent.

This standardizes on "corner of the app" and "bottom/top" when
referring to the location of app features on Desktop, Web, or Mobile.

Vinit Singh 01b19291e7 search: Advertise the ability to search shared history.
When a user performs a search that might contain historical public
streams messages that the user has access to (but doesn't because
we're searching the user's own personal history), we add a notice
above the first search result to let the user know that not all
messages may have been searched.

Fixes #12036.

it might help with any machine reading comprehension task by choosing a
