There are two ways to find a log: the log viewer on the web, and Discord’s own search in your log channel.

​
On the web

The log viewer filters by member, channel, log type, role, time and text, and can answer questions such as “messages deleted by @someone this week”. It covers the last hour on the free plan and Pro Lite, and 30 days on Quark Pro. For anything older, use Discord’s search.

​
In Discord

Your log channel keeps every log for as long as the messages are there, so Discord’s search reaches back as far as your logs do.

​
Find logs about a member

Most logs about a member have their user ID in the footer, after ID:. To find them:
  1. Open your log channel and click Discord’s search box.
  2. Choose the in: filter and pick your log channel.
  3. Type the member’s ID and press Enter.
The search ends up looking like this:
A few logs do not carry the member’s ID in the footer: bundled logs (Multiple Voice Channel Events, Multiple Reactions Removed, Multiple Thread Member Events), and deletions of messages Quark no longer had stored, which show the message ID. On a modlog the ID is the member who was banned, kicked or timed out, not the moderator. To get a member’s ID:
  • Press User ID on any log about them. Quark replies with the ID, only to you.
  • Or right-click a log that mentions them and choose Apps → Get IDs. Quark lists every ID in the log, the moderator’s included. See Get IDs.
  • Or turn on Developer Mode in Discord and right-click the member. See Discord’s guide.

​
Find a kind of log

Add the title of the log to your search. For example, to find deleted messages from one member:
The title is the heading at the top of the log. The types table lists the title of every log type. Discord decides what its search matches inside embeds, so results can vary. A log drawn as a picture has only its line of text for Discord to match. If a search misses a log you know is there, use the log viewer or scroll the channel by date. Giving each category its own channel also narrows a search. See where logs go.
Older logs end their footer with a second number after the ID. That was the log type ID. New logs no longer include it, so searching by that number only finds older logs.
