In specific locales, search doesn't find add-ons translated in those locales

[WaldiPL]

Searching for extensions does not work properly if the name is translated. The problem only occurs in some languages. I tested two extensions. Pinterest Save Button iCloud Bookmarks Search did not work in the following languages: vi, uk, sk, pl, tr, th, nb-NO, ms, he The extension can be searched using the English name. Polish website, English name Polish website, Polish name

Ukrainian website, English name Ukrainian website, Ukrainian name

The script below searches in all available languages.

Thanks for the report and sorry for the delay in answering this.

I think this is an issue for every locale not present in our SEARCH_ANALYZER_MAP - we don't even store the translations for which we don't have a language-specific analyzer. We should fix this by storing the translation w/ a generic analyzer instead...
