Description
### Your use case
#### What would you like to do?
When you get a contact from someone and it contains a Matrix field, it would nice if element would find it.
#### Why would you like to do it?
I am not a big fan of leaking non app relevant data to the app.
But if there is a Matrix field in the contact, Element should be able to read it.
#### How would you like to achieve it?
Search in the contacts for the field Matrix which can contain plain MX-ID, matrix.to link and matrix: link.
### Have you considered any alternatives?
_No response_
### Additional context
Would be great if i could tell Element only to search for this field because I don't want to leak any other data!

Research direction
Start by locating Element's contact-search entry point and the handling of contact fields; the issue specifies Matrix fields containing a plain MX-ID, matrix.to link, or matrix: link. Done means Matrix values can be searched, with an option to search only that field so unrelated contact data is not exposed.
