This appears to be a backend filtering issue in the Search endpoint

1. jsonQuery in the case of attachment; {"type":"chat","status":"attachments","sortBy":"date","sortOrder":"desc","filters":null,"inputQuery":"type:chat status:attachments sortBy:date sortOrder:desc","hash":34196984,"offset":0}
2. jsonQuery in the case of links; {"type":"chat","status":"links","sortBy":"date","sortOrder":"desc","filters":null,"inputQuery":"type:chat status:links sortBy:date sortOrder:desc","hash":2089317297,"offset":0}

We are sending the correct status in each payload, but the Links response includes all chat types.
