Assign Task Reminders to Assigned Individuals
Currently, To-Do allows you to assign a new task to someone in your shared list. It is great! However, I notice that whenever I assign a task to someone I would have to contact them (via email or text, or phone call) to confirm they have completed the task. I think it would be a very nice feature to have the option to assign task reminders for workers or others to complete the task they are assigned instead of just being given the task. I understand that when a task is assigned you can manually input a reminder for yourself once assigned. However, more times than not, you often forget, therefore, when given a reminder from your boss or manager you are able to be reminded by the app. This would eliminate the need to have your boss remind you to complete the task.

Is there a way to search 'part' of people name in teams?
In Malaysia it is common to have names like Nooraisyah. The specialty about these kind of names is that even if it is split into two - it gives 2 names. Noor + Aisyah. So we call this person either Noor or Aisyah. Now coming to the real problem, we are used to calling this person Aisyah as it is unique to this person and Noor is common with many names. So I always tend to search 'aisyah' in the search box and it never returns any results. Teams can now only search the start of first name, middle name or surname. Is there a setting to change the way how search works or is there a workaround for this?
