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.
