Comment:

 ✅ Reproduced
 I was able to reproduce this issue. On the Plugins → Installed Plugins
 screen, the search functionality only matches against the original English
 plugin names.

 If the plugin list displays translated plugin names (from .mo files),
 those names are not searchable, which can be confusing for users viewing
 the admin in a non-English language.

 Notably, the Add Plugins screen search does work with translated plugin
 names, so the behavior is inconsistent across plugin-related screens.
