Client Can't directly use /search for non-rando formats

What is the bug?
/search failure - PS asked me to report this bug

Found this while poking around commands for a suggestion to streamline PS commands and their documentation.

I did /search ou and got the following message, regardless of if i had an OU-legal team slotted in the Battle! window or not.

(You can see the OU-legal team in the screenshot. I gave it a move and EVs so the teambuilder wouldn't get tripped up, but giving EVs or not didn't matter either way.)

I am not using a custom client.

/challenge player, ou works, so PS recognizes ou as the OU format.

/search randombattle works fine.

Here is the team, if it matters.

Alomomola
Ability: Healer
Tera Type: Water
EVs: 252 HP
- Acrobatics

Are you able to replicate it? If so, how?

Just do /search ou, or the like.

/search is not intended for direct use on the official client; you would have to precede it with a /utm and your full team in the packed format. Could probably just have the client insert that /utm for you tho.
