Slack's search.messages wants a USER token for a person's own view of a workspace; a bot token searches what the app can see. Whichever the install granted, the token custodied for this org is the one sent.

var result = new ProviderApi(client).postProviderSlackSearch();The method above is the one at the current release of the document. [email protected] (npm) was generated from an earlier release, where this operation carried a different id, so it spells the method differently — regenerating the clients is what makes the two agree.
