Cannot search for a Public team
We recently noticed in Microsoft Teams Version 1.3.00.4461 (64-bit) that the search feature is missing under the 'Join or create a team' function. Previously, we were able to search for a public team. But, now it requires us to enter the Team's code to join. Are public teams no longer accessible without having the code?

- I dont see that.
Type a specific team name in the search box at the top right and press Enter. Find the team you're looking for and select the Join team. You can immediately join a public team but will have to request to join a private team and wait for the owner's approval to access the team and its channels.
In your Org-Wide Teams Settings at the bottom, do you have the setting in the screenshot below enabled? I recently joined a new Company and noticed the search bar was missing as well for our tenant but was working in my test tenant. Did some digging and found it was related to this setting. We turned it off since we don't need it enabled for our company and Search came back with Teams populating again.
- Let's hope its the scoped directory search as suggested by gbos212 otherwise it'll be a ticket
Best, Chris
- There is no search box at all in the top right?
Can you type /join and enter in the search box at the top - do you see a list of Teams here?
Best, Chris- Quit and restart teams. Looks like your command bar isn’t working. This usually happens when switching tenants back and forth. It’s a bug. Quitting usually reconnects this. See if it also restores your search function.
