Teams search changed, and is now useless

I don't know when this happened but search has changed in teams recently, and it's unbelievably useless. Searching within a single conversation isn't intuitive. Took me forever to figure out how that...

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 😞

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 🙂
