Hey, yeah, this is a known issue. Chat history search uses fuzzy matching, and it ends up matching individual letters instead of the whole word. Another user reported the same thing recently: Chat History fuzzy search is “too fuzzy”.

The team is aware. I’ll add your report to that bug, it helps with prioritization.
