Our organisation has many external users (mail users) and Office 365 Contacts in our Global Address List. Skype for Business has the ability to search for these contacts in the GAL and we can easily make calls to them.

We need this same functionality in Teams.

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.

Enhance search capability - simple syntax like in outlook search (e.g. from: holmes) and saved search capability (e.g. all posts from CSE LT members in the last week)

A small, but very useful improvement would be: To be able to sort the Members of a Team under "Manage team" menu, by Status, Name, Title, Location, Role, etc.

Option to delete search history

When user clicks "Join or create a team", public teams are listed.
Currently, these teams are not of all public teams. Only teams that are related to me or other members are shown.

Please add options "All public teams" are shown.

Ideally there'd be a way to search / find / filter directly in conversation pane. The search on the upper left of chat just shows me conversations where it appears but I want to navigate and highlight each occurrence of a search string within a conversation thread - particularly long ones with long comments where my name is mentioned.

Integrate Teams chat into Outlook email search so that Outlook email search results include relevant Teams chats (like how relevant Skype chats are included in a search done in Outlook email).

In the Planner is impossible search.
How can I find any text, ...

The overall search box does not allow you to search within a individual team only.

Search in the iOS mobile app does not return teams names, so the only way to find a specific team seems to be scrolling through the whole teams list. Could you please add this feature?

From MS Team home page could have a list to all Skype contacts, that way, getting rid from Skype :)

currently the "Go to the chat" link when you're viewing a Search Result takes you to the end of the chat.
It should bring you to the right date and time, so that you can see the search result in the context of the conversation.

If I remember an previous conversation but didn't tag it. I'd like to be able to go to the conversations tab and search for it.

Searching chat history, possibility to jump to selected/filtered result.
The search today is not very useful, i.e. if not all information is in the same post as the searched phrase. Most ofthen you rember talking about something, but also need to read the related chat posts, i.e. not only the post with the exact search phrase.

Add possibility to jump to a post in search result and see the chat post in chat thread context.

Chat Search results to include Conversation Subject

It would be very useful if the search results would include / display the conversation subject. currently search only shows the content.

Enable search to search below team names into channels and actual chats!

Please enable global search to look inside webhooked post cards

When I finally find the message that contains a phrase that I was searching, I would like to see it in a wider context. By clicking 'go to chat' I understand 'go to chat, where the phrase was found'. Now 'go to chat' leads me to the last message from the chat.
