 >I don't really like the idea of only accepting a certain number of
 requests per user..

 I see that. Would limit the search results make sense? Microsoft seems to
 show the first 1000.

 Also, maybe you can get something useful from the way that they deal with
 that: https://www.microsoft.com/en-
 us/language/Search?&searchTerm=Test&langID=594&Source=true&productid=0

 >For providing links to new contributors, you'd still be able to offer
 them the non-wildcard search which seems like a better option to me..
 Would Wildcards really be useful for that? Other than as a shortcut for
 not having to type the full string?

 Yes, it would. Let me provide you an example around that.

 If you search for "Props" on the tool (pt_BR), you won't see results:
 https://translate.wordpress.org/consistency/?search=Props&set=pt-
 br%2Fdefault&project=

 You won't actually find something because it comes just as part of the
 string.

 You can see a string example here:
 https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/wordpress-seo/dev-
 readme/pt-
 br/default/?filters%5Bstatus%5D=either&filters%5Boriginal_id%5D=9836026&filters%5Btranslation_id%5D=72632568

 The above example is not an exception. It would be useful on several
 similar situations.
