To reproduce:
- Enable beta features in mobile web in the English Wikipedia.
- Go to https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dada_Masiti (or any other article)
- Scroll down.
- Click "Categories".
- Click "Add to category".
- Click the search box. Type: `Categ`
Observe: "<strong>" and "</strong>" tags are visible in autocompletions.

This doesn't happen if you type the category name without the "Category" namespace. This happens on desktop and on mobile phone.
== Developer Notes
* Looks like CategoryLookupInputWidget [[ https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-extensions-MobileFrontend/blob/6dfa85ecbd954309c1a30b31e47dee2bbdae6a4a/src/mobile.categories.overlays/CategoryLookupInputWidget.js#L93 | passes as string containing HTML ]] which is [[ https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-extensions-MobileFrontend/blob/6dfa85ecbd954309c1a30b31e47dee2bbdae6a4a/src/mobile.startup/search/SearchGateway.js#L78 | formatted by SearchGateway's _highlightSearchTerm method ]] to OO.ui.MenuOptionWidget's label option and that gets escaped. To immediately address the problem, we may want to pass `new OO.ui.HtmlSnippet( value.displayTitle )` instead
* The formatting done by the ([[ https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-extensions-MobileFrontend/blob/6dfa85ecbd954309c1a30b31e47dee2bbdae6a4a/src/mobile.startup/search/SearchGateway.js#L78 | _highlightSearchTerm ]]) may need to be adjusted because it currently doesn't do fuzzy formatting i.e. If there is a "Foo" category, it will only apply the bold text if the user begins the search with "Categ" (letters from "Category") but not if the user only types "Fo" (letters from "Foo").
