TASK DESCRIPTION When searching Wikidata, the search results when the interface language is set to English versus when it is set to British English differ far more than expected. Example: "wh" using English <https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?limit=500&ns0=1&search=wh&uselang=en> vs "wh" using British English <https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?limit=500&ns0=1&search=wh&uselang=en-gb>. Top ten results on Special:Search, for `en` and `en-gb`: F36948062: wh2-en.png <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/F36948062> F36948063: wh2-en-gb.png <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/F36948063> There are no results in common. The top result for `en` is the 28th result for `en-gb`. The second result for `en` is the 128th result for `en-gb`, after many other results which have no obvious connection to the search term. Top ten results when doing an entity search, for `en` and `en-gb`: F36948070: wh3-en-gb.png <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/F36948070> F36948071: wh3-en.png <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/F36948071> There is only one result in common. 5 of the 7 results for `en` show a "wh" label or alias. Only 1 of the 7 results for `en-gb` shows a "wh" label or alias. Q12874593 (watt hour) <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q12874593> as displayed on Special:Search, in `en` and `en-gb`: F36948066: wh-en-gb.png <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/F36948066> F36948067: wh-en.png <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/F36948067> `en` shows the label with the matched alias after the link. `en-gb` replaces the label with the matched alias.
