Search highlighting breaks links

Description

Search highlighting breaks links in reply messages

Steps to reproduce

Send a message with a link for example: https://github.com/vector-im/element-web.
Reply anything to the link message.
Search for the message with the link for example with the keyword web.
Click the link.
The opened link does not include the part web highlighted by the search: https://github.com/vector-im/element- and is broken.

I found this bug only in reply messages but did not do an extensive search. It might happen elsewhere too.

Version information

Platform: web (in-browser) or desktop? Windows 10 desktop
For the desktop app: Element version: 1.7.25 olm version: 3.2.1

Side note: switching to another account to report this bug triggered this issue as well and I needed to remove the EventStore folder to be able to use the search function in the first place.

Could you open a new issue for that, please?
