Did the recent WhatsApp update give group admins the ability to delete posts from other users?

Those are clients, it doesn't run WhatsApp, meaning without an android or iOS device it won't help.

Yup, precisely!

WhatsApp also started to allow messaging numbers that are sent in chat (without needing to save a contact)

Is there any way to search your WhatsApp conversations for a specific search term, while excluding searching groups, that it only searches non-group conversations?

Don't believe so
The ability for group admins to delete anyone's post in the group is now live in the beta version of WhatsApp. It's only a matter of time for this feature to be available to everyone.
