Research direction

Reproduce the chat-list search behavior in Rocket.Chat 6.2.10 and 6.3.0, then compare it with the previous 5.4.x behavior described in the report. Trace the chat-list search entry point and determine why only 20 recent chats are shown. Done means the search icon again exposes the expected full list of recent chats, with coverage for the reported behavior.
