Finding specific messages or threads using search tools within Microsoft Teams chat history
Looking for help with a particular issue with searching for older messages inside of Teams.
When I search for a certain keyword - say, "hot dog" - I get results that are both old and recent from past conversations. If I look at the recent results I get the full message context that surrounds it - messages coming and going.
If I read older messages, however, I only get the single message result without any surrounding context. This is only marginally helpful, as the context is necessary to add, well, context to the conversation!
Has anyone figured out how to do this? Is it an admin side thing that needs to change?
Unbelievable but true, I solved by using Teams Android app 🤣
After you find the single message, it also allows you to scroll through the context, like any other banal messaging app 😑
I hope I have been helpful, as it has been in my case. I had a whole conversation with a colleague who no longer works with us, I was about to commit suicide with the thought of having lost everything
