Description

Expected behavior

It would be nice if the app used my subdomain to make suggestions when purchasing a domain.

Actual behavior

At the moment, the app appears to use the site title to provide domain suggestions. My assumption is that most users who are buying a domain would like to use their subdomain as their domain.

Steps to reproduce the behavior
  1. Open the Jetpack app to manage a site
  2. Tap Domains
  3. Tap "Search for a domain"
  4. Notice the default suggestions are based on the site title (which is often literally "Site Title")
Tested on iPhone 11, iOS 15.3.1, WPiOS 19.9

Research direction

Start with the Jetpack app flow described in the issue: manage a site, open Domains, and tap "Search for a domain." Trace how the default suggestions are produced and compare the current site-title input with the site's subdomain. Done means domain suggestions use the current subdomain and the behavior is verified on the reported iOS path.
