描述
### 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.
贡献指南
调研方向
首先定位 GitHub Copilot 应用的 Search 功能,并使用过去聊天中出现的 PR 编号或文件路径重现无结果的情况。当 Search 能在用户提示和 Copilot 响应中都找到匹配项,返回相关会话,并显示一小段匹配的摘要时,即表示完成。
