 Background: #1496

 At some point, search by a translated plugin name used to work at least in
 a localized plugin directory. As noted in comment:9:ticket:1496,
 https://ru.wordpress.org/plugins/search/имена+пользователей+на+кириллице/
 used to display the [https://ru.wordpress.org/plugins/allow-cyrillic-
 usernames/ Allow Cyrillic Usernames] plugin.

 This no longer works:
 1. Go to https://ru.wordpress.org/plugins/.
 2. Enter `имена пользователей на кириллице` in the search field.
 3. The page reloads without a query, no search is performed.
 4. If you go to
 https://ru.wordpress.org/plugins/search/имена+пользователей+на+кириллице/
 directly, the search query is also empty.

 Apparently non-ASCII search queries are no longer supported.
