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 now working for me. When I click the 'Go to message' button, instead of just showing the single message, it now opens the chat window and takes me to the actual conversation in the chat so I can read the context.
Thanks to whomever for fixing this.

Hannover2k THIS IS NOT FIXED!!!!!!! The only thing that works is IN CHAT!!! This absolutely does NOT work if your search results are older messages in TEAMS CHANNELS. 99.999% of the information we search for is in Team Channels *NOT* in private chat messages. The whole idea behind Teams is to work as a TEAM in Team Channels. If all you're doing is private chats you might as well just text message or go back to AIM. Just don't want MS (or anyone) to think this is resolved as it is most definitely not.
- I just tested this and it is indeed fixed for me. I am able to search my group chats and it will bring up the conversation. It is in TEAMS CHANNELS and *not* private chat as you're so passionate about.
I'd also thank you to **NOT** tell me when something on my end is fixed or not since you're obviously not me, nor have you ever looked at my laptop. I don't work for Microsoft and I have no reason to lie about my resolution. I'm sorry it's still not working for you but as of this week, it's been working for me. I've been following this thread for quite a while myself and if you go back, you can even find my posts complaining about it just like everyone else. However as I originally stated, this it is resolved for me. It's just a plain fac. It is what it is and what it is for me is working.
I'll be removing myself from notifications on this post now since my issue has been resolved. Good luck to the rest of you.- Are you searching for something that's older than a few months? Because it works for me for stuff that's fairly recent but anything that's old (like 6+ months) it does not.
Even with individual chats I have to use "go to message" and then PIN it (which the other person sees) to then be able to easily navigate to it in our chat.
