Description
### Summary
In the GitHub Copilot app, the **Search** feature (left sidebar / search box) does not search the **content of chats/sessions**. It appears to match only session **titles/names**, so I cannot find a conversation by something that was actually written or said *inside* it.
### Steps to reproduce
1. Open the GitHub Copilot app.
2. Make sure a past chat/session contains a specific string somewhere in its messages — e.g. a PR number (`15883012`), a file path (`src/auth/login.ts`), an error message, or a class/function name.
3. Open **Search** and type that string.
4. **Result:** "No results found" — even though that exact text exists inside one of my sessions.
### Expected behavior
Search should match text **inside chat messages** (both my prompts and Copilot's responses), not just the session title. Ideally it should return the matching session(s) with a short snippet of the match so I can jump straight to that conversation.
### Why it matters
I run many sessions, and they often have vague or duplicated auto-generated titles. The most reliable way I remember a conversation is by its **content** — a PR number, a file, an error string. Without content search I have to open sessions one by one and read them to find the right one.
### Additional context
Searching a PR number returns "No results found" although that number was discussed in one of my sessions (title-only matching). Making Search cover chat content would make it actually useful for finding past conversations.

Piste de recherche
Start by locating the GitHub Copilot app's Search feature and reproducing the no-results case with a PR number or file path that appears in a past chat. Done means Search finds matches in both user prompts and Copilot responses, returns the relevant session, and shows a short matching snippet.
