Microsoft announced yesterday that it is updating the search experience in its desktop client for Teams. While we wait for Teams 2.0, a complete revamp of the desktop app announced earlier this year, Microsoft is bringing a much-needed update to the way search results are displayed.
Starting in November, Microsoft will roll out the changes to search in Teams to Microsoft 365 tenants. With the rollout expected to be complete by mid-November.
Search results are now full page, instead of restricted to a small panel on the left of the app. And in place of accessing search filters, like From and Type etc., as dropdown menus above the results, search is divided into categories as tabbed pages at the top of the new results page.

Much like search works in Outlook for iOS and Android, results will be displayed full screen and segmented into categories that you can expand, like Messages, and then Files for example, to see more.
