    In Microsoft Teams, user profile information such as job title and profile picture can be managed, but the specific capability to add searchable descriptions directly to a user’s profile is not explicitly mentioned in the provided context. The user profile serves as a digital representation of a user's identity and is used across various Microsoft tools, but it does not detail the inclusion of searchable descriptions within Teams profiles.

    For more information on managing user profiles, you can refer to the relevant documentation on user profile management in Microsoft Entra.

    Hello @EXT NAGALA Jagadeesh,  

    Thank you for reaching out to the Q&A forum! 

    For your situation, please take note this point:

    • Currently, Microsoft Teams does not provide a built-in option to add a custom description field to a user profile that is searchable within Teams.  
    • The search functionality in Teams is limited to default attributes such as name, email, job title, and department. 

    Since this is by design, I highly recommend that you submit feedback through the Microsoft 365 Feedback Hub to help prioritize this enhancement. This would provide a more personalized and adaptable experience for each user.
