Hi Alexander.

Thanks for the detailed overview of the issue! This is, unfortunately, an expected behaviour with the Help Center theme and Translations.

We are currently working on a search that would work with Help Center theme properly when used in the space with Translations: https://k15t.jira.com/browse/VPRT-723. Please sign up at https://k15t.jira.com/secure/Signup!default.jspa to watch, comment on or vote for this issue. We'll then send a notification for every status update.

Cheers,

Roman.
