Now in public preview: View the full chat conversation thread after clicking on search results
Description Currently, when users search for a chat message in Teams and click on a message result from a chat which is older than 14 days, they are taken to a single-message-view of the chat, rather than the entire chat thread. Current experience – We have addressed this issue. Now whenever users click on a chat message search result, they get dropped into the entire message thread, regardless of the age of the message. New experience – This enhancement is available in message results on the Search result page (SERP) and the contextual search surfaces. Please try out this feature and share your feedback.
