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.
