Search tab for Discord on iOS is broken for some language inputs like Korean and Japanese(Romaji)

On iOS Discord App, I cannot search anything in Korean language due to how inputs are handled in search tab.

Currently whenever I input anything in the search tab, Discord immediately assumes it's the end of letter. While this works for languages like English, this does not work for Korean because every "letter" is combination of multiple inputs representing consonants and vowels.

For example, when I want to search "snow" in Korean, that should be 눈, which is composed of three characters ㄴ, ㅜ, and ㄴ. However, since discord breaks every single input, (ㄴ,ㅜ,ㄴ) combination cannot be combined to 눈 on discord search tab. It ends up ㄴㅜㄴ which is not even a proper way of using characters in Korean. As a result, currently we cannot such anything meaningful in Korean.

Also, same issue happens with Japanese Romaji Keyboard. When I want to search "snow" in Japanese, that would be ゆき(yu, ki). However, as Discord search breaks inputs, the romaji keyboard goes (y, u, k, i) which ends up yうkい. While we can switch to different type of keyboard that directly inputs kanas, this is still a big inconvenience.

Weirdly this issue only arises in search tab while I can normally type in server chatrooms and such.

As this is causing huge inconvenience for searching in such languages, I hope it can be fixed as soon as possible
