CR approved, let's QA this

(1)

Typing characters does not refresh screen with results. App should be unfocused and focused to list:

(2) [FIXED]

In search view, add some special characters like ? or $

Current:

Snackbar Unknown error

I realised the query parameter is $search: use$

Expected:

No error, just no results in case there are no matches. Checking iOS, the query parameter is enclosed in quotation marks (if it helps):

$search: "User$"

In case the typed chars don't match with any user, it'd be a good idea to show a message like No matches or No user or group matches your search (iOS approach) No users or groups found (web approach)

I think that (1) and (2) are fixed now @jesmrec 🙌🏻

(4) (improvement)

Given a high number of results, the lag for showing the results is perceptible. Could it be posible to add a spinner, so the view does not seem to be frozen. Ideally (it might not be feasible), the spinner would replace the ✖️ while the operation is executed.
