Unintuitive search results

[schiessle]

Steps to reproduce

I searched for the term "bastian" in the app, this is the result:

Expected behaviour

Better to understand search results

In the first category "Unterhaltungen" (conversations) I would expect exact matches first while as you can see in the screenshot, the first results contain "bastian" only as a substring of a longer word, e.g "Sebastian".

My expected search order (same should apply for the people search):

1. exact search term full title
2. exact search term full word within a title
3. simple string match, also substrings of a word

For message search the order should be:

2. exact search term full word within a message
3. simple string match, also substrings of a word within a message

The "conversation" area also contain rooms I don't know why they are in the list at all, the title doesn't contain the search term in any way

Actual behaviour

Quite confusing order of search results as you can see in the screenshot
