There are some changes currently being rolled out to the Office 365 home page however there is no mention of a people search being included in the blog post. https://blogs.office.com/2016/12/28/the-new-office-com-gets-first-major-update/
There are a number of ways that users can search for people within O365 at the moment e.g. People app, Delve, SharePoint search (modern & classic) so this can be a little confusing for end users. It will be interesting to see how this develops, the People app has seen alot of enhancemnts over recent months.
- Ronnie_SainiJan 05, 2017Brass ContributorYes, I'm seeing the new Office 365 home page update but still the people search is absent. It would be ideal if that scope is also added, currently there are several places like you mentioned to find people. The challenge id Delve People Search is that i can't users by their skills for example, for that I have to go to SharePoint Search, at the end, all confusing for the end users.
Hope Microsoft is listening and doing something about this. Thanks again!
