The channel opens in the right pane with a "Join channel" button; click it and wait up to 60 s for "you are subscriber". Without clearing the search, take a shot: the chat list now lists ci_channel (the chat open in the right pane), so the Directory part must no longer list #ci_channel (#ci_group stays). Then press Escape until the chat list shows (the channel may stay open in the right pane).
 2. Type `ci_channel` and press Enter, and wait for the search to finish: the chat list shows your chat ci_channel, and no Directory row #ci_channel (the Directory part may be absent, or show only "Show more" when its page held nothing else).
 3. Type `seeded` and click "Search in Directory" (not Enter). A name narrows the chat list to the chats with that name and the chat open in the right pane, so ci_channel is not listed, and the Directory part lists #ci_channel and #ci_group (use "Show more"); there is no "Names" header, as only the Search key resolves names. Click #ci_channel: the alert now says "You are a subscriber". Close it with "Cancel" or Escape.
 4. Type `zqxvjk` and press Enter: once the search finishes, no "Directory" header and no results. On desktop the chat open in the right pane stays listed, so "No chats found" may not show.
