Do you mean that the keyboard doesn't offer you chinese characters to input? Or that it does and the application doesn't filter by the entered Chinese correctly?

The former is probably a bug in the OSK, if that's what you mean. That's the behaviour I get if I try to reproduce this locally.

Does Pinyin use preedit?

System Settings search field set "inputMethodHints: Qt.ImhNoPredictiveText".
This means that OSK disable WordPrediction and disalbe preedit too.

Does this happen for all searches?

Thanks for reporting this, a fix for this has been released in recent images. Requests by text fields to disable predictive text are now ignored by the Pinyin keyboard, since this is required for Pinyin input under any circumstances.
