Message searching

[JuliaSoriaSmith]

Is there a way to bulk search messages?
E.g. get the last 100 messages, this is also a partial attempt to make a bulkDelete command

I think there are several ways.
The first results on stackoverflows to look up are:

yes but I mean how do I get the messages from an input node? Using the messageManager and info I can get the message object if I know the ID, but in the case of bulk delete, or just generally wanting to see the last 100 messages then I cannot without going through the discordClient node
