Teams messages search function does not show full conversation
cozkan Same problem here! I am trying to get the whole conversation but it only shows the message. I didn´t test the scrollback yet because of 1,5 year message way 😞
Markules Have you tried using the Keyword Query Language tip I posted above? It should at least save you from having to scroll through a year's worth of chats 🙂
KarenKim Yes, it worked. So I got at least 50% of the conversation, which means the answers of my partner 🙂 Thanks for the hint. Maybe there is an easier and complete chat history available.
Markules Make sure you're doing the entire query she posted (both sides of the "OR")...that will get you both sides of the conversation. (When I first read it, I thought she was giving two examples, but it's actually a single combined query.)
Markules Great! But if you specify both of your names, you should see both sides of the conversation. So you'd use something like this entire string in the search: (Sent:2019-11-13 From:Markules) OR From:OtherPerson Sent:2019-11-13
- Yeah, playing a little bit with the search query and the timestamps I could find the history (using the left search menu). So it´s not perfect and I don´t understand why MS makes it unnecessarily complex, but it´s a great workaround from your side. Thanks again.
