This is probably due to the recent cleanup of the English i18n strings. 
It may be necessary to revert those changes for the next release (3.5.13)
and alter the English .po file instead.  Could you please open a bug and
provide screenshots of the untranslated areas so that the Trinity
developers can look into the issue?

Odd.  You can disable the search feature completely if its speed is a
problem, otherwise go ahead and file a low priority RFE bug on it.

Please file a bug on this as well, with an attached screenshot displaying
the problem.
