What I find the worst about Teams' search is how it can find individual messages, but not the context surrounding them! So you can find the question you asked 6 months ago, but not the answers! And no way to go back to a precise date in the past (or I haven't found it) and scrolling too quickly is buggy.

Between my two work computers, I have different versions of outlook and between the two, Microsoft seriously screwed up the search.

Though I don't have issues with the windows search, maybe because I don't search inside the files (I don't use windows search to do that)?

and scrolling too quickly is buggy.

Blame the "designers" who thought infinite scrolling was a good idea. Combine that with a disappearing scrollbar and it's a usability nightmare.

I wish so bad I could just dump teams chats to a .txt file. I must have 100s of pages of chat with some people. And, the people I chat the most with are the chats I need to search the most, and it also the place where search works the worst!

This... It is so annoying. Especially as we use teams for longer now and looking back manually is really unfeasible now.

Yeah the teams search drives me crazy, I can find the comment I'm looking for, but it's impossible to find the thread with all of the important context if it's too old

reminds me of this:
