I think using search

in:personal-direct @personsHandle

gives access to all messages between someone

`in:messages @personsHandle`  
gives me all messages by that handle not just ones I have interacted with.  
while  
`in:personal-direct @personsHandle`  
gives me only messages from that handle that i have interacted with
