Description
Expected behavior
I would expect to be able to type an available desired domain entirely and still see it listed as an available domain.
Actual behavior
Available domain is shown as unavailable during a site creation if the user keeps typing to bring their desired domain into the screen.
Steps to reproduce the behavior
-
Add new site
-
Create WordPress.com site
-
Select any design
-
Type in a domain name (‘testingtfm3‘)
- Scroll down and check ‘testingtfm3.wordpress.com‘ is available
-
Continue typing to get more specific results (‘testingtfm3.w‘)
- Expected: ‘testingtfm3.wordpress.com‘ would appear closer to the top of the list and still available
- Observed: ‘testingtfm3.wordpress.com‘ is on top listed as unavailable
Tested on Samsung Galaxy Note20, Android 11, WPAndroid 18.0-rc-1

Start by reproducing the issue through the Android site-creation flow: enter a domain, confirm it is available, then keep typing as described. Trace the domain-search availability updates; done means an available WordPress.com domain remains listed as available while the user continues typing.
