Microsft Teams: Some search results don't appear until filtering

In Microsoft Teams, I'm trying to search for when a certain person sends a message to the General channel of a team, or for mentions of a term in the General channel. If I type the term or person in the search bar at the top, I get results from some teams (but not all of them), and from private conversations (things in the Chat tab). If I go to filter and choose a particular Team, then I can see more results. Why do those results not show up when I don't have the filter? Shouldn't ALL matches be showing without the filter?

    Hi,

    Did you try using search modifiers for richer search results?

    Search for messages and more in Teams

    Hi MinicMichaelW-5886,

    When you use search bar to search some terms, the results keeping loading when you slide the scrollbar.

    I guess the results you have seen are not the whole.
