Description

⚠️ This issue respects the following points: ⚠️
Bug description

When clicking "Search globally" in the share settings it looks like a recipient was selected which is wrong and the UI also doesn't let you do anything. The global search itself is probably also broken then.

Steps to reproduce
  1. Create a file
  2. Open the sharing sidebar
  3. Enter something in the recipient field
  4. Click "Search globally"
Expected behavior

The real global search should be started and it should show the UI as if a recipient was selected.
