The news was revealed in a Microsoft 365 roadmap entry , which details the feature as simply "Search results page in Teams."

The entry notes that, "a new search experience in Teams will make finding messages, people, answers, and files faster and more intuitive."

It goes on to say that, "a redesigned search results page provides better context and faster results," and that the tool will use "AI-powered
relevance" based on the people and content users engage with most in Teams
and other Microsoft 365 services in order to bring you the best results.

Microsoft notes that the feature is currently in development, with a target release date of November 2021. When ready, the tool will be generally available, meaning desktop and mobile Microsoft Teams alike will be able to benefit.

The update is the latest from the company as it looks to ensure Microsoft Teams remains relevant and useful as workers increasingly head back to an office environment.

The app itself is set for a major redesign to align with the launch of
Windows 11 later this year, with the new Microsoft Teams 2.0 client built around Microsoft Teams for the web.

Reports have claimed that "Teams 2.0" no longer has an address bar, is significantly faster on desktop and runs better on low-end devices, thanks to using less memory. Going back to the office? Here's the best hybrid working tech you might need

Deal with all those irritating calendar notifications right from the
Microsoft Teams activity feed.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

If your Microsoft Teams calls and chats are frequently interrupted by
annoying pings and notifications, a new update may go some way towards lowering some of your frustration.

The video conferencing platform has revealed it is working on a tweak that will allow users to manage calendar notifications directly within Teams.

Users will now be able to deal with calendar notifications within their Activity Feed, meaning there should no longer be a bit of a scramble between apps and services to hush that annoying pop-up or alert. Microsoft Teams notifications

In its entry on the official Microsoft 365 roadmap, the company notes that users will now get notifications for meeting invites, updates, and cancellations, as well as forwards if the user is the meeting organizer.

It adds that these notifications will show up as unread in the Activity Feed pane, and will display the details when a user clicks on it, giving a much clearer viewpoint of exactly what needs taking care of.

The update is listed as being "in development" at this current time, but has an expected rollout start date of February 2024, meaning users won't have too long to wait. Upon release, it will be available to Microsoft Teams users on Mac and Windows across web and desktop versions.

The change is the latest upgrade to Microsoft Teams as the company looks to ensure its service remains as useful and intuitive for users everywhere.

Recently, Microsoft also announced it is working on giving users the ability to redirect an incoming call to voicemail without having to accept or reject it, meaning you can easily focus on the call, or work project you need to, rather than being distracted by Microsoft Teams meetings or calls disrupting your day.

And when it comes to alerts, earlier this year, Microsoft Teams also unveiled a feature that will allow users to send in-meeting notifications to a
specific person whilst on a call, allowing you to react or respond in a private way. The new "targeted in-meeting notification" tool will utilize a bot to make sure your message stays (relatively) secret, and is only
delivered to the expected recipient. More from TechRadar Pro Check out our rundown of the best online collaboration tools available Microsoft Teams will soon stop you making a fool of yourself on those important calls - but only
