Search functionality not working in all cases
in progress

Sometimes (dependent on search string) using "CMD+P", or "Search content" in Raycast an object gets outlined which I don't know what it contains. Clicking it to open I receive a msg. that the object has been deleted.
I tried to figure out the reasons and tested
a) I really renamed an object (type Page), let us say from „Obj_old" to „Obj_new“ -> using CMD+P search string „Obj“ presents the no longer existing „Obj_old", too - which is unexpected. Being provided with a list of objects which partially contain valid content, and a portion of it only open a "Object deleted"-indicator page is not that helpful (see screenshots 3+4).
b) used Raycasts „search content“ and asked to search for „Obj“; the same here - the old object is presented in the list, too; clicking to open it, opens Capacities page, telling me that object has been deleted.
...to b) I did restart the app, and, following Beth's advice, synchronised data using Raycast function. Result of recheck was the same.
In general, I assume that this is related to the trash bin content, as it seems, as the objects contained within are presented as hits of a search, too.
Is there a way to delete bin early, instead of waiting 30 days to have them eliminated by apps design?
Additional:
As being a bit irritated by this behaviour, I did some tests around searching and experienced 2 add. points:
c) Having an object type Weblink, and inserted text "TESTTESTTEST" into the text field.
- Searching for "TEST" does not present this weblink object in the search results - neither does it with strings "TESTT", "TESTTE", "TESTTES", nor "TESTTEST". Only with search string "TESTTESTT" up to the fully qualified the Weblink this Weblink object gets listed (see screenshots 1 + 2).
- the same behaviour using "Extended search"
d) sent a Whatsapp msg to daily page containing a word "Bugbell"
- reminding myself that it had to do with bug, I searched for "Bug", without success, neither with "Bugb", only "Bugbe" and further qualified search string does lead to presenting this daily page object in search results.
Hope you will find a solution (or an explanation, if I overlooked an info) - but currently I am a bit uncertain, whether I can find the things I am looking for the moment I would like to...
In case of questions feel free to contact me.

A new one (first time) on the search issue matter.
Searching for z/d, search result shows the Weblink I looked for, trying to open it -> Error occurred (so this time no object opening, nor indication that it has been deleted)

Anything new on this matter?
BTW: the iPad app has the same issues as desktop app
