Teams messages search function does not show full conversation
So the display of the message context doesn't work with "Go to message" in the desktop app, version 1.5.00.2164 (64 bits), but it works when using Teams in Chrome browser.
I tested this out and looks like in Chrome here, when I get results in normal Team's threads it DOES bring up the entire conversation. BUT, when I click on results that are in a personal chat with someone or a group of someones, all I get is a blank screen. Only seems to work for results in threads, not chats.
Come on MS, get this fixed.
- Just to add to the Teams (not) fun. There is a lot of search/filter syntax and one of the top ones is /activity which will show you all the activity from someone on Teams. This is a great command *BUT* (and there always seems to be a but) there is one person you CANNOT search activity for..... YOURSELF!!!! If you wanted to see all your own activity, tough luck. OMG, does anyone at Microsoft actually USE this stuff?!?!?!?!?!
phlyx I agree the search function is next to useless. I can search for a team or channel by number (we use a number as the channel name) and the search comes up empty while I am looking at the channel in the Teams list on the left. There is so much power in this software but so many glitches. It is as fi they are only concerned about bring out new features before the earlier features are fully vetted. However, this has been a Microsoft behavior since, oh I don't know, maybe, DOS2.0.
- Maybe since Xenix? 😉 I think the thing that grinds most of us folks who actually have to use Teamzzz in a real world environment is that if MS actually used their own product for their business communications, the search feature would have been fixed 4 years ago.
