We can certainly demote this since it seems to be working all chats but workspace.

@luacmartins I tested this across various chats and it seems to be working for most except the workspace chat, I looked at the response data for WS chat and it seems like backend is not returning anything. Would you want to take over this?

[luacmartins]

Yea, I can look into this

[melvin-bot]

@luacmartins, @isabelastisser Uh oh! This issue is overdue by 2 days. Don't forget to update your issues!

[isabelastisser]

any updates here, @luacmartins thank you!

[luacmartins]

Not yet, I'll look into it this week

I'm unable to reproduce this issue in the selfDM like shown in the OP. As for the workspace chat, like @techievivek mentioned, that's the expected behavior because in the Workspace chat the default behavior is searching for expenses, not chats. So you'd have to change the type to chat to see the results. When I do that, I can find them without issues.

Gonna close this issue. Please reopen if needed.
