# Composer, media & search

![](/files/5NODywnsSYwaGMiDwWKw)

The composer is where Sudo becomes more than text chat. It is the action bar for media, files, location, events, polls, contact sharing, GIFs, and Web3 payments.

## Composer actions

| Action                   | Use case                                     |
| ------------------------ | -------------------------------------------- |
| Camera capture           | Take and send new media quickly.             |
| Media editor before send | Crop, annotate, or prepare visuals.          |
| Document picker          | Attach files from device storage.            |
| PDF preview before send  | Review documents before sharing.             |
| Contact sharing          | Send profile/contact details in context.     |
| GIF picker               | Add lightweight expression.                  |
| Poll creation            | Make group decisions structured.             |
| Event creation           | Coordinate future plans inside chat.         |
| Static/live location     | Share where you are or where to meet.        |
| Payment request/send     | Move crypto inside the conversation context. |

## Search

Sudo supports both chat search and global search. Chat search recovers messages, media, links, and documents inside a thread. Global search helps users discover chats, users, groups, and channels.

## Media library

The media/docs browser gives every conversation a memory. Users should be able to quickly find shared images, videos, PDFs, links, and documents without scrolling through long histories.

## Web3 composer behavior

When a Web3 action starts from chat, the product should clearly show:

* recipient or counterparty
* token and network
* amount and fees where relevant
* signing requirement
* final transaction result or receipt

This prevents wallet actions from feeling detached from the conversation.
