Description

### Steps to reproduce

1. Type # to get autocomplete suggestions for linking rooms that you're in.
2. Type the display name of a room which has an address not matching the name of the room. (IE, room address is #metadata.anthurium:nora.codes, room name is "info".)
3. The room will disappear from the autocomplete suggestions.

### Outcome

#### What did you expect?
Room name, as well as address, to be searched in the autocomplete (as they are on Element
web/desktop.)
#### What happened instead?
Rooms I know exist and can link to based on their Address don't show up in the autocomplete search for the room name.
