How do I search for a value in a table that is related to another table in relationship?

So I have a table called messages and another table called messages members, I'm trying to search for messages that are equal to the search query but at the same time the user is part of?

I've tried creating a paginated query:
    const channelsWithUser = await ctx.db.query("members")
    .withIndex("by_userId", q => q.eq("userId",user._id))
    .collect(); // this has the channel id as a coloumn
    
    const allDmsThatMatch = paginator(ctx.db, schema)
    .query("directMessages")
    .withIndex("by_channelId", (q) => q.eq("channelId", /** I want to put the channelId here */))
    .order("desc")
    .paginate({numItems:10, cursor:args.searchQuery});
    const channelsWithUser = await ctx.db.query("members")
    .withIndex("by_userId", q => q.eq("userId",user._id))
    .collect(); // this has the channel id as a coloumn
    
    const allDmsThatMatch = paginator(ctx.db, schema)
    .query("directMessages")
    .withIndex("by_channelId", (q) => q.eq("channelId", /** I want to put the channelId here */))
    .order("desc")
    .paginate({numItems:10, cursor:args.searchQuery});


And I tried to mix and match using asyncMap with search:
    const allDMsThatFit = await asyncMap(channelsWithUser, async (doc) => {
      const findDMsThatMatchInChannel = await ctx.db
        .query('directMessages')
        .withSearchIndex('search_content', (q) =>
          q
            .search('directMessageContent', args_0.searchQuery)
            .eq('directMessageChannelId', doc.directMessageChannelId),
        )
        .take(5);
      return {
        findDMsThatMatchInChannel,
        channelId: doc.directMessageChannelId,
      };
    });
    const allDMsThatFit = await asyncMap(channelsWithUser, async (doc) => {
      const findDMsThatMatchInChannel = await ctx.db
        .query('directMessages')
        .withSearchIndex('search_content', (q) =>
          q
            .search('directMessageContent', args_0.searchQuery)
            .eq('directMessageChannelId', doc.directMessageChannelId),
        )
        .take(5);
      return {
        findDMsThatMatchInChannel,
        channelId: doc.directMessageChannelId,
      };
    });

but got lost on how to handle the channelId side? any advice on how can this be done?

Hi @everyone with everything going on today I forgot to post on discord about our EU launch! We have a region in Dublin now! You can start using it immediately, even for folks on the free plan. https://news.convex.dev/we-finally-got-our-eu-visa/ Stay tuned for more regions but also stay tuned for more infra improvements where we improve latency for teams no matter where their servers are located. Just at the tip of the iceberg re all the optimizations we have lined up.
