The invite user to room screen is confusing and buggy.
- For example why can I see the user listed when I search for ```aaronraimist:matrix.or``` but when I finish typing ```aaronraimist:matrix.org``` it disappears.


- When I am searching for a local contact, if I have their first middle and last name in the contact but omit their middle name in the search, nothing comes up.
- You can search local contacts by a name or an email but not a phone number?
- As tonycto said it should infer the @ sign at the beginning if you forget that part.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start at the invite user to room screen and reproduce the Matrix ID, local-contact name, phone-number, and missing-@ search cases described in the issue. Trace the screen's search entry point and compare behavior for partial and complete input; done means the reported contact searches are consistent and the confusing results no longer occur.
