well search is not that good, it can only find exact word matches for any of the words, but otherwise yeah. though I think telegram isn't much better at this either
it can be, if the client downloads everything. I'm not sure if most Matrix clients do that, I think instead they use the serverside search api: https://spec.matrix.org/latest/client-server-api/#server-side-search
though, after looking at it, it seems it has more features than what the element clients expose to us.
also, it seems it's not specified how the server should treat the search term. I think I remember something that with synapse, it is just passed to postgres as it is, but maybe a different homeserver can choose to implement it with wildcard or regex support
Search is definitely lacking sadly. Unsure if there's even solid plans to make it much better either.
I don't do a lot of message searching so luckily for me, it's not something that bothers me too much.
I think I have found something interesting, check my reply to the other reply
