Can you search messages?

It's in 2.3.

I mean a basic search box below the Direct Messages header.

Why?

There is no "basic search box" for threads or profile posts or resources or media items, but there is (by default) a search link that is (by default) visible all the time on every page as shown by @Paul B .

IMHO it's a common enough UI pattern to have some kind of search link / feature in the header so most users should be able to locate this?

A knee-jerk reaction to discovering a feature you had no idea existed. Make more conspicuous. However that would not not follow the current methodology so is unlikely to happen. The box, at least.
