The only problem about it for me, is that having search and offline messages is ...

To my understanding you can setup Quassel as a bouncer on a server, so when you reconnect it will update all you missed, you just need a cheap VPS or another desktop to connect through elsewhere. Some channels also have searchable logs via bots as well. Ironically BotBot.ME which is powered by redis doesn't have a bot at #redis but oh well...

That's not out-of-the-box

It is on linux. Ubuntu has the combined client and the separate client / server ones ready to go.

There are other out-the-box alternatives. IRCCloud was mentioned in comments.

IRCCloud disconnects you after 2 hours of idle time unless you pay them

Personally, I have a tiny VPS running weechat, tmux, and mosh that let's me keep history and stay connected 24/7.

can you please elaborate more? I am looking to setup something similar. I have minimal linux knowledge and I have done a basic setup of weechat+screen.

Sure, here's how it works with tmux:

1. Install weechat, tmux, mosh

2. Make sure firewall allows mosh

3. Start a named tmux session (tmux new -s weechat)

4. Start weechat

5. Detach session (Ctrl-a d)

6. Connect using mosh and attach the session (mosh myvps 'tmux a -t weechat')
