autocomplete broken in arabic scripts

The highlighting used in the autocomplete JavaScript is problematic for
languages (e.g. Farsi, Urdu, Arabic, ...) using Arabic script. When bolding is
applied to matching characters, it breaks how the letters in the work ought to
connect.

The problem occurs on the ItemView page, when selecting a site link page, and
anywhere else the highlighting is used.

For Arabic language scripts, I think bolding is unnecessary for autocomplete.
