Add location AD to search capability
Currently in Skype you can search for individuals by location from AD, then you can select a user based a search results. Very helpful to find individuals at a specific location and/or department -- would like to see this feature enabled in Teams. Currently you have to know exactly who you are trying to IM in advance.

If MS Teams shell be a replacement for our Linde phone book or now Skype. It should at least have this functionality. I also tried to look for the "Sanitätsstelle" as a institution not a person and of course was not successful either. Very disappointing!

Successor should have at least functionalities of predecessor.

If you can search by name you certainly should be able to search by department. We are using Teams as a replacement to our internal chat program. Our organization is quite large, and if someone needs to reach out to a specific department but doesn't know the name of someone in that specific department they have no starting point with the org chart. Also - PLEASE, the ability to pull up the entire org chart (tab on the side would be great).

I can't believe teams can't do this, I've just spent the last half hour thinking it was me being dumb but apparently not!

Yes! Major subject matter when discussing pros and cons with our users going from Skype for Business to Teams. Usage scenarios are naturally different among different organisations, but 90% of our SfB users are primarily doing lookups for collegues within SfB. They expect at least same options or better. The "Who" app does not help here either.

Job title search is also a BIG wish in our org.

It would be brilliant if you could search by job title in Teams it would save a lot of time

Same issue in our organisation when moving across. This is a big oversight of a very useful feature used a lot by our users.

Terrible oversight, we keep discovering features we lose when moving from Teams to Skype and this is a big one.

Please add this feature to Skype. Not being able to search by Office, Title, Department etc slows our productivity down.

Employees used to search for people by Office, Department, or Job Title and this doesn't seem to be possible in Teams.
First bot is not functioning the way we expected.
That would be great if we get all searchable attributes in Microsoft Teams too.

This is a feature we use a lot in Skype for business, please add to Teams as soon as possible, we are trying to migrate to Teams but there is still a lot of features missing in Teams that we currently have in Skype for business.

The more and more we use Temas the more and more it feels like adding telephony and other S4B stuff is an afterthought to the Teams devs...... They should have aimed at feature parity from the get go....

We have had requests for this functionality as well from some employees that used this feature. It would be useful.
