My try on this would be something like this:

1. Test cases around valid/invalid search inputs - Characters, numbers, Uppercase/lowercase etc.
2. Search results should have met the search criteria. All the results should have the search input with the results having a higher density of the search word sorted in a descending manner.
3. For a quality search, the input should allow for operators like + and - to make the experience richer.
4. The search should be made on different attributes of the application like statuses, time, message or text, related user or any other criteria attached to the web application.
5. Search results should have pagination to allow the user to leaf through any older or less relevant data considered less important by the search application.
