Event details
Copilot Teams Chat currently has a search return limit of 10 items, so when I returned from my holiday this week and asked "Copilot, how many emails have I received in the last week and what are the most important?", it returned "You received 10 emails last week", and then listed 4 of those 10 that it thought were important.
This search limit of 10 items is a fundamental blocker to Copilot Team Chat being useful. Please can the Product Group advise when this limit will be removed?
If you take the use case of someone returning from a 2-week holiday who might receive ~100 emails / day, plus Teams chat + channel messages, etc., that should give a guide as to the minimum search item limit needed for this to become of practical use... But ideally there would not be such a limit - e.g. if I search for an email in Outlook (not using Copilot), I'll receive 2 years worth of results based on the default Exchange Archive policy - if Copilot is missing key data based on a search item limit, it will return poorer results.
- Katrin_ThausingSep 06, 2023Copper ContributorWhen was your license activated? Maybe then semantic index wasn't fully completed yet? I'm just guessing - we started using Copilot this week and also experience similar behaviors but will wait for the rough 4 weeks time before drawing any conclusions...
- GabeHoSep 06, 2023Former EmployeeHey Greg, thanks for the question! It sounds like you're Copilot user in the Early Access Program. I'd recommend reaching out to your Center of Excellence or Admin to more thoroughly investigate this.
- Greg NixonSep 06, 2023Brass ContributorThanks Gabe, yes indeed - I'm part of our CoE / Admin team on this one! - we've previously posed this question in a Msft webinar a few weeks ago, and at that time, the answer was "we're aware of this and working on it", so was hoping for the latest update - thank you :-) (Katrin, we enabled our first accounts about 3 weeks ago, so I suspect it's unrelated to the semantic indexing.)
