Move all features within the contacts menu button on the header to unified search

[marcoambrosini]

This feature has been duplicated since the global search has been there. Now that the global search is even better, we should remove it.

It was recently reworked to include more useful information, but I agree that we should check if this is needed, especially because there are already 4 other icons in the right side of the top bar, cc @jancborchardt

If it looks like it can be removed, I can start to work on removing it with nextcloud/designers approval (don't want to ping again ;) ) with the requirements that you guys would propose!

We can move this to the search results in the unified search.

We should then rename the issue, something like eg: "move all features of the contacts menu to unified search" or something along those lines.

It seemingly just needs to have these additions added:

more information | relative local time

Does #22329 still apply? If so, it may be a factor.

[emoral435]

That is true. As that issue has not had much traffic for the last three years, I assume its priority is not that high up. However, if its a small change, it can be added within the implementation that I am drafting up!

[emoral435]

I'll unassign myself on this issue from now, as I have to work on accessibility issues, but after chatting with Marco, I misunderstood what was needed to be done, we should move the results of the search to be on the main search functionality! Not the filters, whoops!

Around here:

Just FYI @marcoambrosini @emoral435 issue #22329 was fixed in 28 via #40559

Moving this to the search does not work, as people should have this info at a glance and not need to search first. So the contacts menu is something we want to improve rather than remove.

Opened a new design spec about this at #43763
