Description

Description:

I used the file search function in groups and direct messages, but it is not working.
(The search function works fine in channels.)

Additionally, I noticed that each time a character is entered into the search box, the API is called, leading to too many API requests when the keyword consists of multiple characters.
It would be better to allow the user to complete the keyword input and press Enter before triggering the API call.

Steps to reproduce:
Expected behavior:

can search file name

Actual behavior:

Search function for file names in groups and direct messages not working

Research direction

Start by reproducing file-name search in a group and a direct message, then compare it with the working channel search. Inspect the search input and API request behavior, especially the request made for each character; done means group and direct-message searches return files and the request runs only after Enter.
