SharePoint list search from a tab
When you add a SharePoint list as a tab, there is no way to search the list. Makes long lists unusable. I have many SharePoint lists that I could add a tabs for my users, but lack of a search feature is keeping me from being able to do this.

The team has placed Search for the List App on the backlog. We will share an update as soon as one is available. In the meantime, you may want to try using filter as a workaround.

The search functionality was there and I created a list and gave people instructions on how to search on it only for MS to ow remove the search functionality unless you open in SharePoint. There's no point having lists in Teams if you have to open SharePoint to use it effectively. Who takes away a function as fundamental and basic as search??

No ability to search defeats the purpose of being able to integrate a list in Teams

This is a necessary function for a list via Teams, otherwise we'll have to try to explain to all users how to open via sharepoint and use the search there. Users aren't always techsavy and this adds lots of clicks and users will most likely lose interest and abandonned looking in the list and send me an email with the question instead of them finding it themself in the question/anwser list, making that whole section pointless.

As per other user comments please please add this search function back. It is critical to the usability of the lists in MS Teams

This really needs to be fixed. It will become unwieldy to effectively use Lists in Teams without a search function. Especially with longer lists.

We are also forced to abandon using Lists until this is fixed. Really unfortunate.

I planned to set up a simple acronym search list for my company and Lists looked perfect. However, the lack of an intuitive search facility with 500+ acronyms means the use of Lists has had to be abandoned. Please implement asap.

Please please please make this a priority, searching is a basic functionality on any platform, you search your emails, you search for words in a document, you search for data in excel, you search in your lists obviously. Please add it back, you're killing us!!!!

We're rolling out Teams across our business largley due to the Lists feature. As our list grows the lack of a search feature will become more and more frustrating.

It seems like lists are intended to be potentially quite large. There is a great big search bar at the top of the list page. Yet it is completely non-functional. This seems like it should be a pretty darn high (not back logged) feature to fix /implement.

Please make lists searchable, filters aren’t enough.

Hello Alex, some news this item was added to the backlog in last Agust?

This is a problem for us as well. Having to click through to open a browser to use the search is not a step most people will 1) KNOW to take or 2) WILL take instead of just scrolling up and down the list in Teams until they find what they want. Filtering is far too clumsy to substitute for search functionality.
Hopefully this can get some more traction despite the low number of votes. The Lists app is making Lists in Teams a lot more prominent and it would be good to be able to fully leverage it before people get turned off by lack of functionality. -

On the backlog? Really - how can one use lists without search?

No search makes this absolutely useless. I was looking forward to start the tool and I couldn't believe it when I realized there is no more search function. Worse that there apparently was such a function and that it was removed without a replacement. What kind of crazy is that.

Seems like a basic and fundamental feature. What's the hold up ?

Not being able to search persistent chats is incredibly painful!
