Limited number of options in Typeahead search dropdown

Our Teams bot uses typeahead search fields within modals extensively. Currently, the dropdown is limited to 15 options, as documented in the Microsoft Teams platform documentation.

However, this 15-option limit significantly impacts usability for end users. When working with larger datasets, it seems like some items are missing because there are more than 15 items matching the query.

We request either allowing some kind of pagination here to load all results or increasing the typeahead dropdown limit(to at least 100 options).

Thanks, Kevin

    Hi @KevinBoban,

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A moderator, and thank you very much for reaching out to us.

    Based on your description, you’d like to increase the typeahead dropdown limit to around 100 instead of the current limit of 15 in Typeahead search for Adaptive Cards in Teams.

    Based on my research, there currently isn’t a supported way to increase this limit as you requested.

    However, I understand how this feature could be valuable for your organization, so I strongly recommend submitting feedback through the Microsoft Feedback portal. As a Microsoft Q&A moderator, I can only assist you with available resources and documentation, but feature changes depend on engineering decisions. The more feedback received, the greater the chance this enhancement will be considered in future updates.

    Thank you very much for your time.

    Hello @@KevinBoban,
    There is a limit on the number of options displayed by the dropdown. It's currently limited to 15 or lower.
