### What’s The Bug?

When an object has symbol as the first letter in the title, it could not be searched in an object-supported relation, @mention and /link.

### How To Reproduce It

1. Create an object with title starting with symbol e.g. + or - or ( or )
2. Have an object-supported relation
3. Attempt to search for the object created in step 1 (Might want to use older objects to avoid [New created object cannot be searched in mention/link/relation](https://community.anytype.io/t/new-created-object-cannot-be-searched-in-mention-link-relation/23355/))
4. Go through the whole list of searched results (this is to discern the search issues e.g. [Search lists too many results](https://community.anytype.io/t/search-lists-too-many-results/25995))
5. Doesn’t see this object in this object-supported relation bug🐞
6. Confirm this object can be found in search pane (cmd+s) ✅

It’s seems to work with 44.16-alpha or with Windows version. Or because my list of object is really short 😅

I am facing the exact same issue. I can reproduce it with every object.  
**I found out, that if I remove the icon and set it again, the object will be found.**  
But going now through each object, reset the icon and set it again would be a big pain cause of the amount of Objects.  
Currently I am on version 0.49.2 for Windows.
