 If i have created a tag with name: tag1 and slug: slug1 then searching for
 slug1 will return tag1 in the results, if i do the same thing but with
 Arabic then tag1 will not be returned.

 Which means that searching for tags using slugs work for English but not
 for Arabic - probably for all other languages that don't use English
 characters

 Here is how to reproduce the bug
 1) create a new tag: name: tag1, slug: slug1
 2) create a new tag: name: تاج1, slug:سلج1
 3) search for tags using "slug1" phrase => tag1 will be in the results
 4)search for tags using "سلج1" phrase => تاج1 will '''not''' be in the
 results

 I have done the previous steps in a fresh installation of WordPress.
