Search for theme on non-english rosetta sites results in 404

Description

If you try to use the search function on any theme page on wordpress.org in a language other than English, you currently always get a message saying there are no results.

Examples:
​https://de.wordpress.org/themes/search/Inspiro/
​https://it.wordpress.org/themes/search/Inspiro/
​https://fr.wordpress.org/themes/search/Inspiro/

It works on the English site: ​https://wordpress.org/themes/search/Inspiro/

Unfortunately, I don't know how long this problem has been around, but it's currently causing issues for many users who are looking for a theme in their language.

The English search finds themes, BUT: The search results display the total number of results incorrectly (16 instead of 6), AND the search does not prioritize “the theme title first”; instead, it searches the description as well without any prioritization (unfortunately, this has also been the case for the plugin search for quite some time).

This was fixed by disabling Jetpack search again, it was auto-enabled when the site was assigned a Jetpack Complete plan on June 9, 2026.

It's working great now. Thanks for resolving the issue so quickly.
