Teams messages search function does not show full conversation
Dear Jason Drew , hope you solved you issue since.
For the sake of other people looking for this answer:
When on the search-result screen that you pasted,
click on the chat name in the header (before the ">" sign),
this will open the full conversation, and position you at the location of the returned message.
You will find this message in context
so, in your case, including the answer you were looking for.
Hope this helps. If so, vote for this answer?
Opens the full conversation???? NOPE!!! Searched for a term, found it in a message chat from 6 months ago in one of our most active channels. I click on GO TO MESSAGE and it brings up that single message by itself with no messages prior to it or after it. I have to go to that channel and scroll back 6 months (several hundred messages) to get to the actual "full conversation".
What you're saying works ONLY IF THE SEARCH RESULTS ARE VERY RECENT, but if it's old then you get one message and NOTHING ELSE. If you want a good example of how it should work try Slack.- Click on "Go to message" for a chat that was, say, 12 months ago. Then you'll see what everyone here is talking about. Users need a way to see the _full_ conversation surrounding a message returned from search -- not just the message in question, and not just the single messages proceeding or following it.
