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.

My only work around is to export to Excel - which makes me wonder why I use Lists in the first place!
Also having a simple ID column (that starts at one and doesn't count deleted rows) would help so we at least have a unique ID to find items. -

This effectively makes Lists unusable. Please prioritise this requirement.

To not have an easy way to search Lists in Teams is quite frankly moronic...please please MS stop taking away or not considering simple productivity tools like search!!

What if you add to the filter pane to the id that has a lot of records(say over 20000 lines), will there be a performance hit when it tries to all the id's. its a workaround for search via id but i am wondering about performance.

Completely unusable without search. So frustrating to get it all set up and not be able to use it because search is missing.

I think this is horrible to place this functionality on a backlog for almost a year?????? I am no longer interested in using this feature as this should be a primary functionality of the app. Why enter data if you can't search it?

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!!!!
