Search failed: unable to search URL in All Rooms

[532910]

I got

Search failed
Index error: An invalid argument was passed: 'Query is invalid. FieldDoesNotExist("https")'

trying to search https://github.com in All Rooms while for This Room it works fine.

riot-electron 1.6.4 from https://packages.riot.im/debian sid

👍 Still reproducible in Element 1.7.31.

Having this issue in searching with v1.9.0 - The FieldDoesNotExist error is returned for any "All Rooms" query that contains a : colon, not just URLs.

Searching a single room won't throw the error, but won't show the expected result either.

The search returns a "No results" message for me at the moment both for This Room and All Rooms.

You can work around this by wrapping your search query in quotes ".
E.g. "https://github.com instead of https://github.com.
