Comment (by dd32):

 > If you search for "Props" on the tool (pt_BR),

 In that case, we definitely can't support that kind of searching at all
 right now.

 Wildcard searching based on a prefix (`Drop-in` wildcard matching `Drop-
 ins <span>..`) is possible, but wildcard searching for text anywhere
 within an original (for example, `Props` as in your example) is not going
 to be possible on WordPress.org currently.

 A wildcard search for `%Props%` currently times out after 60s, there's
 simply too many strings in the GlotPress database for that. It's really
 not designed for being searched.

 No amount of limiting, caching, etc will work around that.

 It'd probably require leveraging something like ElasticSearch for that.
