With contextual search, you can now search for content in a specific Teams channel or chat by using Ctrl + F (cmd + F on macOS). It’s here and it’s been here for a while! Microsoft Teams introduced a contextual search feature in 2020 that helps users find what they need faster and with a comprehensive scope. With this new Contextual search experience, users will be able to search within a specific chat or a channel by pressing Ctrl + F (Windows) or cmd + F (Mac).”
Currently, Teams users are unable to search within a particular chat or channel. “Teams users will be able to search within a specific chat or channel in both the desktop and web Teams clients. In Office 365 notification MC213822 (May 20), Microsoft announced: There’s a certain skill involved in querying stuff and we need to be smart about our searches! In 2020, Microsoft made some awesome changes to the search experience in Teams. Sorting, filtering, and scrolling are great but using Contextual Search will provide you with the information you need, and quickly. However, I’m not interested in converting to the other choices! I'm interested i n key words, filters, and contextual searches, not random guesses. I actually wanted to search for "pdf" and it happened to be the first choice that popped up. Here’s a classic example: I began typing into Google on my phone, “how do I convert to ”. How many times have you heard, “ why don’t you just Google i t?” That s ounds easy but it’s not ! Google is really good at guessing what you want based on lots and lots of other factors and algorithms. Just like seeking out any type of information: w e have the tools, w e gain the knowledge, w e make the most of it.
That’s right, search! Search for keywords that may appear in posts, chats, channels, document libraries, meetings, and pretty much everywhere else! That’s exactly why I’m excited to write about some of the coolest new search features in Microsoft Teams. In my experience, searching for content instead of scrolling and navigating has saved me time and aggravation. Even if your file management skills are on point and you’re an organizing master…I’m guessing you still like finding things quickly! Have you ever put an important file “somewhere safe” but can’t remember exactly where that safe place is? I definitely have.
