Research direction
Start by reproducing the search for “playground” at https://learn.wordpress.org/ and with the fr_FR locale query shown in the issue. Trace the search entry point and compare the requests or results for the default and localized pages. Done means localized searches return the expected matching results, including the reported fr_FR case.
