(Migrated from github.com)

Right now, to make the load on the bot manageable, when running /bibleq only the latest 100 entries in #out-of-context are eligible for selection. Desired functionality is that every quote in the channel is eligible.

Per Fleff:

My limited research shows the sort of indexing i'd want isn't really feasible; however, what could be done is adding another limit to the search telling it to search 'around' a random date defined by the oldest and message (we can lock in on) and the current date.
You could do this and then just pick from like <20 messages instead of 100
