Wiki search results display
When searching for a string using the top search/command bar the Wiki pages are included in the search with is good.
Unfortunately the results can’t be displayed within Teams. you have to download an mht file and open it locally with a web browser.
It sounds strange that documents created and edited within teams can’t be displayed when part of search results...

Matching Channels Should Show Up in Team Search
Channel names that match a search in "Team Search" should show up in the search along with the team they are a part of.
Depending on how we use the two entities they could be relatively interchangable - a user searching should not have to know ahead of time that the "abc" channel they are looking for is a part of "xyz team"

filter date
In a big organization environment, we have a lot of chats, Teams channel going on. When trying to search certain thread/conversations, filter options built in Teams work fine for the most. But when trying to search certain dates to see the whole thread, it is kind of impossible, without having an option to select date range with calendar pop up to choose the date ranges. without this feature, I am having to go scroll up and down to find the exact date, time etc. Real pain....
So far with date range filter, it is set to certain period of time:…16 votes -
search
When you search for a team, then click on a team, the navigation pane does not move to that team so you can't see the channels. You still have to manually find the team in the list to see the channels within the team.
Clicking search result should make the navigation pane jump to that team and expand it to see the channels.16 votes -
Allow activity, chat and channels to be filtered by date only, no search text
Allow activity, chat and channels to be filtered by date only, no search text. In the current implementation you are required to enter search text before the date filter is available. Users should be allowed to filter by date without the need to enter other search criterial. Teams enables a large of communication to take place and is easy to fall behind, especially after being away from the office for vacations, training, or other reasons. Having the ability to filter by date without additional criteria would allow you to more easily catch up by showing a list of communication for…

Have the option to pin to favorites bar "Saved Searches", or "Virtual channels" or "Alert Channels" or whavetever the name, you get the idea.. be able to define a search and get an unread count when there are matches on it. Ideal to track common terms across all of the teams you are connected to.

Switch focus to chosen team
When searching for a team and clicking it, after I have found it, the Teams app does not switch the focus to the chosen team. That is very annoying because I cannot see channels of that team, if my focus is set on other teams within the teams list on the left side.

It would be helpful to be able to search Subject Lines or # identified words
It would be helpful to be able to search by Subject Line or to be able to mark key words with a # to search later. When I search for #, any words that I have marked with # would show up.

Searchable code snippets
It's not possible to search for the content of a code snippet.
Would be great to be able to search for parts of the content, e.g. if you want to search for examples where a certain class or library is in use.

#Teams
Trending "hashtags" might help Teams ability to search for common terms that we use. If we can use the # we might be able to click on the term and see all of the other times our group or other groups did the same thing!

Find/Search > Go to Chat. should take you to that point in time during the chat. Not just the chat window.
I want to search for a conversation within a full chat with someone. So, I use keywords in the search function. Teams will find the single message in which I used that keyword but single messages are out of context.
The Go to Chat feature just takes you to that chat at the latest message. It should take you to that specific point in time in the chat so that you can see the full context of the conversation.
Trying to scroll through days of endless chatter is cumbersome.

Channel search results should open the whole thread
When searching for something from a channel conversation, the results returned are atomic, so I cannot find the whole context of the thread.
Repro steps:
1) Have a conversation in a channel about a complex topic (in this case, using a VPN)
2) Allow several other conversations to happen in channel, where scrolling is no longer a convenient way to find it
3) Search for your old conversation by keyword
4) Select the proper result in the search results paneExpected: You are now at that post in the conversation
Currently: A lot of results are in the "main" pane,…10 votes -

Search chat history by date, use fuzzy matching; allow navigation of chat by date
Searching in chat history should support fuzzy matching (similar to searching in Bing). It should be possible to search in a chat with a specific user, or in a specific group / channel.
Further, results should include the date and time of the messages. This is important to find information when you know approximately when the conversation took place.
It should be also possible to filter chat history by date, and navigate to chat sections within a range of time.
