Description

This issue has been migrated from [#9303](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/9303).

---

For example, searching for "matrix stand" in the room directory will not give me results for a room called "matrix-stand"

However, searching for either "matrix" or "stand" will get me the results (you can try this yourself by searching fosdem.org's room directory).

I suspect this is a case of postgresql treating a `-` as part of the word, but feels like this might catch some folks out.
