[rushatgabhane]

this can be external (if we want to)

[youssef-lr]

I have a fix included in an ongoing draft PR but figured I ship this separately sooner.

[mallenexpensify]

@rushatgabhane should be assigned as C+, even if we fix this internally..... right?

[youssef-lr]

Actually the PR I was planning to fix this in is almost ready, so I'll include the fix in there instead of fixing this separately.

@rushatgabhane should I assign you for reviewing it? We're adding the possibility to return personalDetails from SearchForReports so we can display proper avatars/display names of any user we search for.
