Teams messages search function does not show full conversation
When using the search function in Teams chat, is there a way to see more than just one specific message (I would like to see the response to the message)? For example, I searched for a question that ...
This is such a key feature, I'm finding it hard to believe Microsoft still has not addressed this. This is embarrassingly bad. Please show context in search when selected (there's absolutely no point in showing just the message alone) - just simply go to the message directly in the channel/chat, I 100% consider search right now BROKEN with the way it is set up - it is unusable. I cannot search my chat history properly and find important historical info without finding first and then manually scrolling through history (which can sometimes be prohibitively long). How is this so low priority that you haven't gotten to it over the years since this was first mentioned. I'm also surprised internally in Microsoft nobody has complained about this, unless you set up a wall to block feedback. really really bad and clearly being ignored.
Maybe Microsoft should "harmonize" Bing so its search is as "useful" as Teams search - e.g. you can see the search result summary but you can't actually go to the actual webpage that shows the content... 😉
