Error description

• merge search for activity doesn?t work for activities which are
  not users
  
  Steps to reproduce
  
  Step1:
  Stand on the merge target stream and initiate ?find merge?.
  Create\Set an activity to merge the content to destination view.
  
  Step2:
  Locate an activity either via user's views or via the stream
  activities and add it to the selected activities for merge
  search.
  
  The results:
  1. If user has a view on the source stream and the activity to
  merge is their own, then they can select the activity from my
  activities in the source view and the merge finds the elements.
  2. If user has a view on the source stream and the activity to
  merge is NOT their own, They can?t locate it in the source view,
  so they need to find it in the stream activities.
  
  But when loading the activity from the source stream, merge
  search doesn?t find any results (even if the source activity is
  users as in 1).
