Description
### Make URL strings searchable in History
Currently only words and groups of words are searchable in Matrix rooms. Web addresses are automatically filtered from the results, even when the search term is identical to the full URL.
### Steps to reproduce
- Find a web address in any public room
- Cut and paste the exact text of the web address (https://mydomain.com)
- Try to search for this string in your current room
- The search will return no results
I would expect it to be possible to search on a URL or other URI based on the exact text string or even a partial text string (e.g. "anydomain.com/") and have the relevant results appear.
This limits users' ability to retrieve useful websites and links without massive scroll back. This may also present a potential security threat for administrators. If malicious, harmful, or personally revealing links cannot be easily identified and located, they cannot be redacted (removed).
