Search people in Teams with display name
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.

Hi, Christoper , thank you for your comment.
We tried it and let me share the result like below. This symptom came up not all users but some users.
Even if we typed fist name press enter, it cannot still work for anyone who didn't search using display name in search bar or new chat bar.
And using Who Bot which you suggested, it works well as we hoped.
Teams search bar use Exchange directory to search people as I know.
That is point I wonder in case of Who Bot is which directory use to searh people? Do you know?
Those problems came up both teams client and web version too.
We hope to this process is under prepopulation, but even if we wait time to sync all M365 services, there is no change any more.
Best, Hongwoo
