In `@app/containers/MessageComposer/hooks/useAutocomplete.ts`:
- Around line 116-135: The stale-guard mechanism using searchId and isStale() is
only applied to the @ and # autocomplete types, but the useAutocomplete hook
handles multiple types including ':', '/', '/preview', and '!'. When users
switch quickly between different autocomplete types, older requests can still
pass the isStale() check and overwrite newer autocomplete state. Move the
searchId increment and isStale() check outside the type-specific conditional so
it applies to all autocomplete types, and ensure every async operation branch
(for each type) includes isStale() checks after all awaited calls to prevent
stale results from overwriting current state.
In `@app/views/RoomsListView/hooks/useSearch.ts`:
- Around line 71-87: The search function in useSearch.ts dispatches
SET_SEARCHING but lacks error handling for the async operations searchLocal and
searchRemote. If either of these rejects, the state remains stuck in a searching
state because the final dispatch is never reached. Wrap the entire async
operation block (from searchLocal through searchRemote and dispatch calls) in a
try/catch block, and in the catch block dispatch an appropriate failure or reset
action to ensure the searching state is set back to false when errors occur,
following the coding guidelines for explicit async error handling.

Learning: In this Rocket.Chat React Native codebase, the ESLint rule `no-void: error` is enforced. When you see a promise returned from an async call that is not awaited (a “floating promise”), do not silence it with the `void somePromise()` pattern. Instead, handle the promise explicitly by attaching `.catch(...)` (or otherwise awaiting/handling the error) so unhandled-rejection risks are addressed in a way that satisfies the existing ESLint configuration.

Proposed changes
Split search() into searchLocal (fast, DB-only) and searchRemote (spotlight merge over the local data).
Search surfaces now paint local results instantly and re-render once the backend responds, instead of blocking the UI on the network round-trip. Updated RoomsListView spotlight, message composer @/# autocomplete, New Message, and Selected Users, each with a request-id guard so a slower older search can't overwrite a newer one. Added unit tests for the local/remote/merge logic. No change to the existing local-vs-web result parity (deferred as follow-up).
Issue(s)
https://rocketchat.atlassian.net/browse/NATIVE-1105
How to test or reproduce
Confirm local matches appear instantly, then remote (spotlight) results fill in.
results merge in without duplicates.
