[Bug 1983407] [NEW] Don't anchor search term for type to search keyboard layout

[Nathan Teodosio]

Public bug reported:

On the keyboard layout selection, one can simply type away his desired
layout. A "find"-like dialog pops up with the input and the list is
rolled to the first matching item (e.g. typing "slo" will match
"slovenian").

I believe this would be nice if typing "bra" matched "portuguese
(brazil)", but the search is hard-anchored so it is not matched. Better,
in my opinion, would be to use \b{search term} in Perl or regex
\<{search term} with GNU regex.
