I thought "Search" was only for the search engine, not for the display of messages on Special:Search ("Issues relating to the search engine")?

So long as the right people are on the CC list the bug will be noticed if you poke it enough.

When I click on your link I do not see the unescaped text. Did the url get cut off somehow?

Are you using French as interface language? Maybe

https://fr.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?search=untitreinexistant&uselang=fr

would have been better

Screenshot not showing problem

I still don't see it. Am I looking in the wrong spot? Could you attach a screenshot?

(hum, there are two title on a page, let’s be more precise)

I’m speaking about <title> tag which sets the windows’ title

Ah! Now I understand and I do, indeed, see the bug:
<title>Résultats de recherche pour «&amp;#160;untitreinexistant&amp;#160;» - Wikipédia</title>

Not sure why the gerrit bot didn't get this. Patch merged to fix it here: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/102820/
