Looking at the initial implementation of the language selector (T253303) available for Section Translation at test wiki, when searching for a source language the list of languages is not always showing the expected results. For example, searching for "Id" does not show "Ido" in the results.
Ido is in the list and it is shown in the results when searching for other terms such as "I" or "Ido", but not for "Id". This may be related to the way multiple search criteria are currently combined (since "ID" is the ISO code for Indonesian).
An example of the results shown in each case.
| Searching for "I" suggests "Ido" | Searching for "id" does not show "Ido" | Searching for "Ido" shows "Ido" again |
|---|---|---|

Another example (based on the case reported in T376863) is for Hindi, where each of the search strings "Hi", "Hindi", and "Hindi " (notice the extra space at the end), leads to different results where "हिन्दी", "Fiji Hindi" or both are shown on each case. The expected result would be for both results to be visible in these different cases.
| Searching for "Hi" suggests "हिन्दी" | Searching for "Hindi" suggests "Fiji Hindi" | Searching for "Hindi " with trailing space shows "हिन्दी" and "Fiji Hindi" |
|---|---|---|
