Does Azure Active Directory support SCIM user query using a POST?

Hi, I was reading through the RFC for SCIM for an upcoming project and I noticed that the SCIM spec technically allows querying for resources using a POST request. It's not a required part of the spec and it does not seem to be a widely supported part of the SCIM spec based on my searches across StackOverflow and the Microsoft documentation.

3.4.3.  Querying Resources Using HTTP POST

   Clients MAY execute queries without passing parameters on the URL by
   using the HTTP POST verb combined with the "/.search" path extension.
   The inclusion of "/.search" on the end of a valid SCIM endpoint SHALL
   be used to indicate that the HTTP POST verb is intended to be a query
   operation.

source: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7644#section-3.4.3

Does Microsoft support this part of the SCIM spec?

    Hello, Azure AD SCIM does not implement querying by POST but by GET as per section 3.4.2 of the SCIM protocol.
