Left a comment on this PR that's potentially related

hm, will try to reproduce differently, but i can't seem to reproduce on dev:

[hannojg]

hm no, i just can't reproduce it, neither on staging. I don't think this related to the mentioned PR

[Beamanator]

Any ideas here about this being front of backend-related? 🤔

[Beamanator]

I could find the selfDM in search if I type (you) so I wonder if we should call this NAB?

[hannojg]

@Beamanator but you weren't able to find it by searching for your mail address?

[luacmartins]

I think this is a sorting priority issue. Try creating many chat reports (threads) that match the search term. In the example I posted in Slack, all the results seem to match the search input, but all the threads are prioritized above the "main" self-dm report

[Beamanator]

Ooh now I can see it easily - I wonder if this was fixed by the revert that @luacmartins recommended here?

[Beamanator]

as mentioned in slack here, this was fixed! I won't close it in case @stitesExpensify wants to try to get to the bottom of which PR revert fixed this

[stitesExpensify]

I do not have time to dig on that with travel right now. I'm going to close since it is fixed
