Problem
The global search uses the /index.php/contactsmenu/contacts endpoint.

- Own user is not returned
- Endpoint can not be used by desktop/mobile clients (needs OCS)
Potential quick workarounds
Hard code the own user into the options because we can generate all the details from existing JS data.
