I have ignore the following, thinking it can be done in the next iteration.

Steps:

1. I open the more direct messages dialog
2. filter and click on a group message option
3. the users in that group gets added
4. the same group message option still comes in the suggestion list.

though, clicking on the same has no effect. i.e won't add the users again.

@cpanato can you help look into this spinmint? Having trouble getting it up

[cpanato]

@esethna fixed

This is sweet @pradeepmurugesan! Such a nice feature, awesome work. A few comments we should address:

1. Theming and other CSS. Adding @asaadmahmood to help with some alignment and theming:
   

2. I think we need to address how this feature works with different "Teammate Name Display" Account Settings. It seems that it matches differently when "First and Last Name" or "Nickname" is selected than if "username" is selected. I would expect that it searches all name types (first, last, nickname, username) and displays the same results regardless of which setting is selected.

@esethna thanks for the feedback. Will work on the same and let you know.
