Description
Extension
https://www.raycast.com/automattic/beeper
Raycast Version
1.104.20
OS Version
macOS 15.7.7
Description
This is weird behavior that makes the whole extension useless for me - whenever I type a friend's name, or the full name of a group chat, the list comes up empty. But if I type just 3 chars for example, it does find stuff - just not the exact thing you type.
Steps To Reproduce
-
open the Recent Chats function in raycast
(you see a list of recent chats) -
type just the first letter of the name of someone in that list you just saw
(you see the shared groups you have with them, you see names of chats that are similar (eg. jon <> john), but you stop seeing the DM chat you have with them) -
type their full name
(the results list is empty)

Research direction
Start by reproducing the problem in the Beeper extension's Recent Chats function on macOS, following the listed steps with a chat name and a full name. Trace the Recent Chats search entry point and identify why literal full-name queries return no results; done means exact chat and group names appear when typed completely.
