/Search in Chat App not returning results as expected

Can anyone out there provide more details about how the /Search works in an Appsheet Chat App?

I have a very simple set up to try to explore the Chat Apps.  It's a single table that lists basic information about some organizational resources (Name of a resource, description, link, etc).  All fields have the "search" box enabled.

I have two main issues when I use /search in the Chat App that I'm just not sure if they are intended to be this way.

1. If I search for a simple term that is used in multiple records (e.g. /search sign) it only returns one record (usually the first).  I would expect it to return a list of all records that match for users to select.

2. Some searches return nothing when there are clearly records with the term included in the data.

If I search directly in the Appsheet app, the search works great and returns all expected results.

 

Did I do something wrong?  Does /search just not work very good?  Couldn't find many specifics in the chat app documentation.  Any knowledge is appreciated.
