The mechanism was replaced by loading updated directly by id to the initial list. There are two factors why yesterday-me was dumb:
1) By asynchronously loading update state, you have no control over it - hence no search
2) It's incredibly wasteful; running that hardcore search on every query? Not cool
...and from UX stand-point having updates inlined right under installed modules is by far better than nitpicking it from the list or in the search
