Teams search changed, and is now useless
GrowlinkRicky I noticed the same. Please note that they have on their roadmap for an extensive revamp of the search of Teams which they say is rolling out in november. In the little information I've found about it they support clicking a chat and going to that full conversation. So I think this may be a temporary issue.
I am also truly hoping that the teams search will also get some backend upgrades like searching in OneNote, searching the wiki, searching lists, searching tasks, searching OneDrive, searching Sharepoint sites and more. At the very least they could support the generalized Microsoft Search functionality with the connectors. Unfortunately I've been unable to confirm this and I think it's because this is actually just a very basic GUI revamp and nothing more 😞
MelmixDKNovember has come and gone and its still junk
Just checked again it works now
doubleugk It's still not like it used to be. It just brings up the message you're searching, and the message before and after it.
If you click on the "Go To Message" button, it just brings up the single message. It used to bring you into the conversation window with that person and rewind to that point in time so you could see the ENTIRE conversation so you could see the ENTIRE context, including conversation an hour before and hours later. Context is important. Finding a single message is near-worthless.
- This was fixed a couple weeks after I made the original post. Clearly a bug. Search results now come with context.
GrowlinkRicky it's still an issue for me. Any chat in a channel goes to the context of the chat, but any chat in a 1:1 only shows that single chat message. It's really annoying. Oh well I hope it's fixed for me soon as well 🙂
