Fulltextsearch for Wiki
It seems like the wiki content is not searchable with the global search
A wiki you cannot search for entries is useless...

Everyday i found new missing basic features which let me struggle my with decision to roll out teams. A wiki with a search - What a feature would that be. Seeing it is since 2017 and currently on backlog does destory any hope for it.

I am making decisions right now on where to go with my team's Wiki. Lack of search has me searching elsewhere (pun intended).

Yet another proof that Teams is still not ready for full deployment.

How many votes does it take to get a basic feature like that in?
Accumulating data in a tool that does not support basic search defeat the purpose... We need contextual search and a search that can search any piece of word or whole words in a case sensitive or insensitive manner.

If Teams wiki is updated to be searchable - will the sharepoint wikis also be searchable

Hey Microsoft, this is the worst PR as you can get.
Really communicate with your customers and users.
This request has been published in 2017. Customers still don't know what they could expect... -

Any progress here? If this is not implemented I might need to move my ever growing Wiki to another, better platform

This is a serious flaw in the product - search needs to be implemented for it to be of any practical use.

Having no search functionality for wiki?? It is really a deterrent to using Wiki in Teams.
Is there any other preferred way to share knowledge for an organization on Office365? -

I was about to setup a fairly extensive wiki in Teams, but I won't now that I know the search is so poor. Generating a result as an mht file is very poor functionality.

How is it possible to implement a wiki without a search capabiltiy? Not being able to search a wiki is a pretty huge oversight IMO.

With all due respect ... the time frame to implement the requested function is insanely long.

This feature is still in the planning stage. No new updates are available at this time.4-oct-17
We’ve had to prioritize some other important search-related features and improvements, so have put this on the backlog for now. Will update this again when work resumes. -

So far I have learned that the Teams Wiki feature is not searchable, not exportable, not easily copy-pasted, not persistent (is removed when tab is deleted), cannot be moved between team channels, and cannot even last-ditch-effort have its Copy URL option be used to create a new tab without strange results within the Teams desktop app.
Any single one of these would be a barrier to adoption. But all of them? That's a Fail.
To add insult to injury trying to use OneNote, instead, inside the Teams desktop app, presents the lovely experience of constantly having the section / page / subpage lists disappear as soon as you click to edit any content -- requiring a selection of Open in Browser, or Open in Desktop in order see the content hierarchy while editing a portion of said content, and completely breaking from the unified experience of using teams. So another Fail.
(This, all on top of the fact that they claim to know better than us what channel content is of primary importance for that channel -- and it's obviously Chat and not Wiki or anything else of.... primary importance to the actual users. Fail #3.)

Hey, I found a workaround on How to Search Through Microsoft Teams Built-In Wiki

In text retrieval, full-text search refers to techniques for searching a single computer-stored document or a collection in a full-text database. In a full-text search, a search engine examines all of the words in every stored document as it tries to match search criteria (for example, text specified by a user).

I have to agree with everyone here. This should've been prioritized over being able to change a video background in a meeting. I could care less about that feature. However, this is something that does, and will continue to, impact my user adoption of Teams as the repository that we want/need it to be. Search is a basic function that everyone relies on in 2020 (and really before now too).

Amazing that this is not a thing and has no priority at MS. It is essential! Do these guys live in the real world I ask myself sometimes.

We have put so much time and effort into our multiple wiki layers. Without a search function, we may have to look at migrating away from it. Tough pill to swallow.
