Pipe character is ignored in figma design text search

In figma design, when I search for “a | b”, figma text search presumably ignores everything before the pipe and only finds “b”. I’d expect it to match “a | b” exactly.

Hey ​@Derek_Nguyen 👋 Thanks for taking the time to flag this. I was able to repro this using a simple a | b example. I took it to my resources to check the expected behaviour here. I’ll follow up as soon as I get more info for us. — Jaycee
