Description
For both official Telegram and Telegram-Fork, the search function in the Chats tab does not work correctly when searching in non-English characters, for example, Chinese characters.
Sometimes it requires users to type at least 2 characters before results can be shown; sometimes it requires users type 1 character but not more than one character in order to show correct results.
p.s. Searching in English has no problem at all.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in the Chats tab with Chinese or other non-English characters, comparing one-character, two-character, and longer searches against English searches. Done means search results are correct regardless of the number of non-English characters entered in both official Telegram and Telegram-Fork.
