lukas77 Hey, for what it's worth a new search experience in Teams (powered by Microsoft Search) is going to be available later this year. It will improve the search experience and make things less complicated.

benjamin_bowen Hi all, I have experienced the pain a lot in searching messages in team. As concluded all above methods, I got a way to do which should be 100% work.
If you are going to search message in team group, you firstly click on that group, then click "Ctrl F" to type the date search key words (e.g. the discussion was on 2Jun), then you type "sent: 02Jun". In the left columns, all the messages on that group discussion discussed on 2Jun will be shown which were sent from group team members (including yourself).
