To clarify:
This is running unity with Simplified Chinese seledcted and iBus for keyboard input method (see steps below).
Searching using Chinese characters does not yeild correct search results even though the Chinese characters appear in the displayed name. Search results are only correct if English characters are entered and this is wrong.

To enable iBus and Chinese:
In Language Support:
 * Tab 1: Install Chinese/Simplified translations, input methods, and fonts
 * Tab 1: Apply System-Wide button
 * Tab 1: Select iBus in Keyboard Input Method System combo.
 * Tab2 (named "Regional Formats" in en _US"): Select Chinese and Apply.
 * Reboot/Relogin
 * Ctrl + Space enables /disables iBus
 * enter Chinese character for Empathy for example and it won't be found. enter English characters for empathy and it will be found in applications place.
