Description
### Steps to reproduce
1. Log into a new desktop session
2. Go to a DM
3. Search for something you can see in the scrollback
-> see result shown correctly
4. Search for something you know is in the room history but haven't scrolled to yet
-> Be told that there are no search results (have been trying to search this conversation for some time at this point)
### Outcome
#### What did you expect?
If the conversation is still being indexed, a warning about that. That the conversation I am looking at is prioritised for indexing over ones which I haven't openned.
Maybe that clicking the request keys link causes the decrypted messages to be indexed first?
#### What happened instead?
I can't search an encrypted conversation because the search tells me that there are no matches (and this is blocking my work).
