How do I search a SharePoint list from a Teams Tab.
When I add a SharePoint list as a tab in a Teams channel, there doesn't seem to be any way to search the list. Am I missing a setting, or is this by design? This is making long lists as a Teams ta...

Troy Fulkerson Mine was working fine with a Search bar until yesterday. Today is gone for all my organization, not sure what happend. Like i said, we always had the search bar for all our sharepoint lists in teams. The only way to search right now is if you select the option "Open in Sharepoint" , it will take you to your browser but the search works there.

I have the exact same issue. Reported it with MS Support and they told me this feature currently does not exist. MS obviously thought, a database applet without a search functionality will suffice for most of the business users. Us, poor souls trying to retrieve data from a list (obviously an operation left in the past) are doomed to leave the premises of MS Teams and rely on good old Sharepoint.
MS Teams is a joke since most of the features are rolled out as minimum viable products, which then leaves customers and users with frustration because things either don't work or are plain and simple stupid.

came here looking for solution. Instead, I learn that it's broken. 😞
Make lists viable by adding a search / filter option that works. There is a filter button but nothing can be filtered???

Up until the last couple of days, we had the ability to search a list in Teams. The Search box appeared to the left of the Quick Edit and Open in SharePoint options.
We need it back. Already getting help desk tickets looking for it.
With the ability to add a list as a Teams tab link, we need the ability to then search as well.
Thanks!
