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.

Fixes #13167.

While humans can disambiguate 'upper right' and 'top right' to one area,
it might help with any machine reading comprehension task by choosing a
more regular wording.
