Jump to Date?
I search for a word in MS Teams and get a result from a chat with someone 2 years back. But I want to see the entire conversation from that day. Is there a way to jump to that date in the chat history? Currently I have to scroll up for a very long time. It's extremely tedious. We should be able to jump to the date of the conversation by clicking on the search result.
As the years go by these Teams conversation build up more and more essential knowledge that we need to access more easily.

- Actually, yes! The two workarounds posted in replies there appear to work for me.
1. From ChrisO9, doing the search, seeing who you were chatting with in the search result, pop out the chat with that person, then search again. Now "go to message" will scroll in that pop out window.
2. From Richard Vicary, "pin" the search result, then go back to the chat thread and click on the pinned message. You will scroll to the results.
An improvement that doesn't require so many steps would be ideal, but these work for now. Thanks.- Re 1: when I pop out a chat with a specific person, I do not have a search field within the popped out window. And Ctrl+F doesn't work. How do you search after popping out a chat with a person?
