Rather than silently failing.

Similarly FilePanel.

But what about a room that has unencrypted history?

perhaps we put a warning in the search results saying that hits may be missing; go use riot/desktop if you want it to work

Fixes element-hq/element-web#13262

This is part of the cross-signing shipping master plan. Known issues relating to this feature are:
* element-hq/element-web#12896
* https://github.com/vector-im/riot-web/issues/12385
* element-hq/element-web#11831
* element-hq/element-web#11155

In theory, these are issues we're comfortable with shipping as we're already enabling it by default. This just makes it easier on everyone by removing the flag (making it still enabled by default).

Probably needs some design?

Some notes from quick internal discussion on solving this:

  • We think it's preferable to advertise the value adds of the desktop app (rather than e.g. not showing the panel at all)
  • If we're advertising the desktop app, we should consider Element admins who don't want to drive traffic to the desktop apps (e.g. private deployments)— should we make a flag to disable this? or can we be smarter with whitelisting domains? etc

We're already planning a flag for this: #15184

Closing as this is now fixed in matrix-org/matrix-react-sdk#5225
