yeah, system messages (which this one is before parsing) are skipped due to content nature.

Quite complex idea, but it just came to my mind, and only works going forward.

We could change the caption messages to normal messages and add the system-message attachment information into the new meta-data field.
This way the message field would not be the JSON system message with a lot of wrong hits, but would be searchable like normal messages :)
