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.

I really do need the ability to search in Teams for anyone with a specific AD attribute - especially department name. It's the one thing stopping all 1,400 of our users using Teams to look up staff.

Come on Microsoft - this is an absolute MUST have. You cant search by department or anything

This is a needed feature. Moving away from Skype and not having this available has made a huge impact to our business!!!

Backward step from TEAMS that comes as standard for the soon to be unsuported Skype.... enables me to find people by just knowing part of their job title and also knowing just part of their name. Great when you can't remember all of it after an introduction!

recently moved fully away from Skype over to Teams, and this is the 1 thing i've realised Skype was good at.
Often would type in a Department name or job title to find people.
We have people working offshore on rotas, so this way you can search the job and find who's on shift.. but alas, not so much in Teams :| -

Why MS is pushing to replace Skype when MS teams doesn't have the same capabilities, I was able to search by phone, department, name, etc within skype, in MS Teams you can not ... I am not sure what kind of developers are in charge of Teams but they are not doing a great job 2 thumbs down !!

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
