Description

There is this room called `<<>`. Once being in that room, the room filter on the top left (`ctrl-k`) should find it, when entering `<` or `>`. But it does not, unfortunately.

Here is a screenshot of [Hydrogen](https://github.com/vector-im/hydrogen-web/) which *does* find that room:

[A short discussion in `#element-web:matrix.org`](https://matrix.to/#/!YTvKGNlinIzlkMTVRl:matrix.org/$KKJtdamynF7uclkWHXqGHtbooHlxsgEOKHpT4COyCTw?via=matrix.org&via=privacytools.io&via=mozilla.org) brought up, that this could be considered a bug.

This is on Element version: 1.7.29 running in Firefox.
