Why isn't my Messenger 5.0 Search button working?

Messenger 5.0 Search

I've got the new Messenger app, and the search button isn't working for me.
Are you seeing the same thing? Any ideas?

It's working for me - 2013 Moto X, 4.4.4.

Working for me, too, on a Sprint Moto X 2013 (4.4.4).

Weird. I can't get it to work.
The search option (inside individual messages) is grayed out for me.
On at&t 4.4.4

Re: Messenger 5.0 Search

I was referring to the search button at the top when displaying all threads. I didn't even know there was a search option within a thread (I think that's what you're referring to). But searching within a thread also works for me. I can even jump from one search result to the next (or previous) within a thread.

Yeah. Neither works for me.

Update: I uninstalled deleted the app recently to test something out on my phone, and when i re-installed it started working.
