Well, my experience with Slack (never tried discord really) is that it's pretty hard to find anything that is more than a week old. Slack (and IRC) is designed to exchange the information quickly and forget about it. If we need traceability then e-mail is much superior to both.

Discord's search feature is beautifully from what I've experienced. I can search and get snippets from months and months ago almost instantly.

Good search can be done with chat, it just tends to be hard.
