Description

Keybase GUI Version: 1.0.16-20160803190018+268b023

When I searched for my own usernames on the listed services, none of them show up:

But when I put an @ symbol in front of the twitter search, my account does show up.

Obviously, if the intended behavior is to hide all results associated with the current user's account, then I don't think this is much of an issue, but I suppose adding the @ shouldn't affect the outcome. But it made me wonder if other accounts weren't showing up either.

Sorry for the nondescript title, but I couldn't think of anything better :/
