[✅ Solved]How to start a multiple flows that can be "switched off" when its is not needed.

Scenario:
1. A List<Message> in the UI
2. messages = mutableStateListOf<Message> in viewModel
3. messages depends on two actions getAllPaginated or search
4. In both cases we observe SQLite, but only one flow should be active at a single instant (user is either viewing all or is searching)
5. Flow is used at SQLite because new messages can come from the network
Questions:
1. How to switch between getAll and search flow
2. When a new search happens the old search flow should be cancelled and a new one should start

[Clament John]

Here we should enable/disable the flows getAll and search when the user action changes
