When searching on a foreign-language wiki (especially one in an unfamiliar script), which is not uncommon during cross-wiki administrative tasks, it's very hard to identify namespaces in the dropdown, which are always in the content language, not the interface language. Either that should be changed, or the filter-as-you-type logic for the dropdown should filter by canonical name as well.
