You've always been able to search public messages on Yammer. This is a great way to get up to speed when joining a project team, hunt down information someone posted a few months ago, or locate a user you may only know by first name.
Now, your private messages are searchable, too! Whenever you perform a search, we'll include your private messages in your search results.
Here's how it works:
1. Enter your search term into the Search Bar in the upper right hand corner.
2. Notice that an auto-complete list will appear, displaying members, groups, and tags within your network. You can make a selection from the auto-complete list or finish typing your search term and click the 'magnifying glass' icon to initiate the search.
3. The results are categorized by Messages, Members, Groups, and Tags.
4. Clicking Messages, Members, Groups, or Tags tab will yield the results for that category. The number within the tab tells you how many results there are for that category.
(Notice the 'Padlock' icon, symbolizing a Private Message, appearing in the search result.)
Including private messages in search results is the first enhancement of many coming soon to the search feature. Stay tuned!
