Proposal

Please re-state the problem that we are trying to solve in this issue.

After typing status:, suggestions incorrectly include status: itself
Tapping status: gives no response

What is the root cause of that problem?

Empty string values (ALL: '') is showing "status:" as a suggestion

App/src/components/Search/SearchAutocompleteList.tsx

Lines 229 to 256 in 62117e0

	const statusAutocompleteList = (() => {
	let suggestedStatuses;
	switch (currentType) {
	case CONST.SEARCH.DATA_TYPES.EXPENSE:
	suggestedStatuses = Object.values(CONST.SEARCH.STATUS.EXPENSE);
	break;
	case CONST.SEARCH.DATA_TYPES.EXPENSE_REPORT:
	suggestedStatuses = Object.values(CONST.SEARCH.STATUS.EXPENSE_REPORT);
	break;
	case CONST.SEARCH.DATA_TYPES.INVOICE:
	suggestedStatuses = Object.values(CONST.SEARCH.STATUS.INVOICE);
	break;
	case CONST.SEARCH.DATA_TYPES.TRIP:
	suggestedStatuses = Object.values(CONST.SEARCH.STATUS.TRIP);
	break;
	case CONST.SEARCH.DATA_TYPES.TASK:
	suggestedStatuses = Object.values(CONST.SEARCH.STATUS.TASK);
	break;
	default:
	suggestedStatuses = Object.values({
	...CONST.SEARCH.STATUS.EXPENSE,
	...CONST.SEARCH.STATUS.INVOICE,
	...CONST.SEARCH.STATUS.TRIP,
	...CONST.SEARCH.STATUS.TASK,
	});
	}
	return suggestedStatuses.map((value) => getUserFriendlyValue(value));
	})();

App/src/CONST/index.ts

Lines 6656 to 6658 in 62117e0

	STATUS: {
	EXPENSE: {
	ALL: '',

What changes do you think we should make in order to solve the problem?

We should filter out empty string values (ALL: '') to prevent showing "status:" as a suggestion

        // Filter out empty string values (ALL: '') to prevent showing "status:" as a suggestion
        return suggestedStatuses
            .filter((value) => value !== '')
            .map((value) => getUserFriendlyValue(value));

App/src/components/Search/SearchAutocompleteList.tsx

Line 255 in 62117e0

return suggestedStatuses.map((value) => getUserFriendlyValue(value));

Note: we should also do the same with other fields that have the same problem

What alternative solutions did you explore? (Optional)
