Microsoft Teams - search my own chat history
How could I search my own team's chat history in almost 10,000 line of chat log in these 3 months? Thanks!

i can find the old message i searched that matches my criteria: in the result list appears only the single message posted, but i can't eventually find/understand the context! (that is the very previous-next messages) in a hundreds posts chat!

The new msteams help find many thing, but the problem is it almost useless.
you must remember what you've chatted, and typing in the exact keyword.

Long Nguyễn Xuân apart from this, even if you have a match, it's also rather difficult to scroll back months to get the context for your search result.
Chat search only gives you the single matching message instead of scrolling back to the point in time of the chat.
If you're dealing with folkswho
type
separate messages
in staccato
fashion
the search feature becomes useless for chat.
- GecroJan 06, 2022Copper Contributoras this is pretty much on point with regards to my own Teams problem... has there been a solution to this?
is there a way around scrolling back months in the chat timeline for half an hour to get to an old message? thanks for any hints.- Stefan HanrathJan 06, 2022Copper Contributor
If you still have issues, taking the date of the single message you've found + the other participant in the chat, theres this workaround that gives you the entire days worth of results
But my search in the desktop client now has a button that scrolls me back to the location in the chat. This is an update from the last few months.
