Characters: Search from Recently Used doesn't work

[Jeremy Bícha]

Impact
=====
There is a 3.26.2 bugfix release. It updates translations (gnome-characters doesn't use Ubuntu language packs since it's in universe) and fixes one bug:

Search from the Recently Used panel doesn't work. Recently Used is the first panel shown assuming you have used the app before.

https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-characters/tree/NEWS
https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-characters/log/

Ubuntu Budgie 17.10 includes gnome-characters by default. (Ubuntu GNOME 17.04 did too so upgraders will probably still have it installed.)

Test Case
=========
Open Characters
Click on a character so that you have at least one item in Recently Used.
Close Characters.
Open Characters.
Search for "smiling".

You should see search results.

Regression Potential
====================
2-line bug fix and translation updates.

There is an approved micro-release exception for GNOME.
