Description
I put a unique word in a note then put the note in my trash. I went to my trash and did a search for the unique word, but it did not show any results.


### Where did you see the bug -
I discovered this while looking into a lost note issue on #4793470-zen. That second screenshot said "No Results" further down the page.

Contributor guide
Research direction
Reproduce the search in the Trash view using a note containing a unique word, as described in the issue. Trace the Simplenote Electron search path for trashed notes and verify that the word returns the note instead of “No Results.” Done means the reported Trash search returns matching notes while normal search behavior remains intact.
