You can, but it's not the default; you need discipline and moderators to force people to thread conversations and structure their thread starters in such a way as to optimize for searching.

IMO just use forum software if you're going that way. Much more low volume, too (generally).

You don't need moderators, just policy. Where I work we have threaded conversations and no one needs to moderate anything.

Further, "optimize for searching" isn't a thing. Teams gives full text search, and you can find any word or phrase you need to instantly.

I think you're optimizing for familiarity.
