Please add file searching for Guest Users
Guest users are unable to search files in Teams. They get the "Messages" and "People" however "Files" is not present. They are able to search SharePoint no issues, just not teams.

Please do not limit co-working with external users in this way. It's not working smarter and not effective. Rather it becomes a frustration for teamwork :-)

Please fix this! We need it every day. I'm really surprised that it was rolled out with it not working.

In the past year MS Teams has become critical to not just Video sharing but full fledged business content sharing and work platform. Not giving 'guest' users the ability to search across a portion of the application that they already have permissions for is very limiting in the broad deployment of this tool. Please move this from 'on the backlog' to a development action item.

Dear Microsoft - are you taking this seriously at all? Do you really think teams is an intra-company affair? Do you really want us to move to Slack?

I agree with the other posts. It's critical that Team members are able to search Team files.

Why shouldn't guests be able to search for the files they already can access through teams and channels? What is the rationale for limiting this feature? It doesn't make any sense.

I can't believe this has been an open request for 2 years! Is there a current update on getting this on the roadmap? Thanks

In one community where different organisations share data on issues we work on collaboratively, our guest users need to regularly search on historical data to understand what has happened before. Because of this ridiculous restriction, we've avoided Teams completely for this community and solely use SharePoint, so users don't need to conduct the same search across both Teams and SharePoint to find all relevant information; they now only need to search in SharePoint. This means we have to do without some of the important collaborative tools within Teams, such as the ability to easily have conversations on issues. It makes no sense.

Would be nice to know if MS is working on this at all, or even aware of this need.

This would be a huge help. We were surprised this was not part of the standard feature set. WE have thousands of files to search, and only people with an O365 account can see the search results. Bummer - please add very, very soon !!

Search works in SharePoint. This is really hard to explain to an end user.

Unbelievable - even the guest user has technical permissions to the files he is not able to search for files in MS Teams - June 2019. :-(
Please move on Microsoft Dev Team for MS Teams!
