Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue in a channel on Rocket.Chat Server 6.9.0 and App 4.49.2, then review issue #2289 and the existing local-search flow. Confirm how global search works in the browser and identify the React Native search entry point. Done means the app offers a global-search toggle and returns global results when it is selected.
