Search results are difficult to read #4317

Steps to reproduce

In a room, ⋮-> Search
Search for something that will yield results

Intended result and actual result

What did you expect?

Search results are very visible, highlighted, and clearly and consistently displayed

What happened instead?

I think I got three different interactions (this may be wrong)

When there is a single result, it was clear that that was it but the highlighting of the search term was not very obvious
When there were multiple results which showed context around them, I think the message with the result was emphasised with a green vertical stripe on the left
When there were multiple results, the only emphasis was the bolding of the search term
It's not always clear where the breaks between messages in the backlog results are

Application version and app store

Element 1.3.4 (RC)

Will you send logs?

No

Tagging @amshakal as this Needs Design and moving to the correct column in the app team board.

A related iOS issue is here: https://github.com/vector-im/element-ios/issues/5252

Removing the Needs-Product label.

The outstanding work needed is for Design to make an assessment and recommendation on how we handle search results in product.

As per our discussion last week, I'm removing Amsha from the Assignee and adding TeamDelight label
