791202 - 'Provider for Google calendar' not found/in search results [find] for non en-US users

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(addons.mozilla.org Graveyard :: Search, defect)

Description

[Sebastian Hengst [:aryx] (needinfo me if it's about an intermittent or backout)]

Firefox 15.0.1 (German), Windows XP SP3 32 bit

Searching at https://addons.mozilla.org/de/thunderbird/addon/ for "provider" Google doesn't find
https://addons.mozilla.org/de/thunderbird/addon/provider-for-google-calendar/
but searching the en-US start page finds it (and many other add-ons which had been missing for /de/).

The given search page only shows a 404 error page. But when searching for "provider" the first suggestion is Provider for Google Calendar -> Works for me. 
Using Opera/9.80 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; U; de) Presto/2.10.289 Version/12.02.

Sorry, trimmed the url not enough, of course I meant https://addons.mozilla.org/de/thunderbird/
And I am talking here about typing "provider google" and pressing enter, not about the popup with the results.

This works for me today.

c.f.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/search/?q=provider+google&appver=&platform=
(14 results) and
https://addons.mozilla.org/de/thunderbird/search/?q=provider+google&appver=&platform=
(2 results)

Note that just 'Provider' gives the same 175 results for different locales:

And "Provider for Google Calendar" is not in the two search results for "provider google".

It would be good if someone can work on this - non-en-US searches are totally unreliable.
