fix: Variable search item not showing after braces/commas (#11864)

# Pull Request Template

## Description

This PR fixes an issue where typing variables, like `{{contact.name}}`,
caused the variable list to miss showing `contact.name`. The search key
in this case became `contact.name}},` which didn't match any available
options. The logic in `VariableList.vue` only checked the part after the
last comma and didn’t fully sanitize the input.

**Solution**
Updated `searchKey` to remove all {} and commas for accurate matching.
