    Hi, to solve this problem, just follow this few steps below.

    1- Teams Admin Center;
    2- Teams Settings;
    3- Roll down ultil you find "Search by name" and turn on;

    This change can take a few hours to replicate, after replicate you can try again and share the result with me.

hongwoo_jinrunning in cloud-only I cannot reproduce this scenario. If I add a user to my domain via M365 admin center they become available to add to Teams, chat and search within 30 minutes using the display name or UPN. I have no on-premise domain so all identities are cloud-only for all services.

Are you configured with a hybrid connection for user identities, Exchange or other?

    LeeDrinkwater  it only works not hybird but cloud only environment. Do you have any documents which describes about search attribute in teams or exchange online.
