Bug description

Groups are only shown in 'recent chats' when searching for a group/contact to share media. This makes it impossible to share media with a group unless its in the 'recent chats' section.

Steps to reproduce

• Push share (with signal) on a photo in gallery

Actual result: Groups are only shown in the 'Recent chats' section at the top of the list on the 'Share with' signal screen (if actually one of the most recent chats). Groups do not show up in the search results or in the list of contacts below 'Recent chats'
Expected result: Groups appear in the list of contacts to share media with, additionally, groups appear in the search results

Device info

Device: Sony Xperia XZ Premium
Android version: 8.0.0
Signal version: 4.17.5
