Summary
Searching for the community handle leads to no results
It only searches the display names of communities (in this case "lemmy.ml/linux"):
Suggestion:
List communities as [email protected] – linux.ml/Linux

this drop down is a bit annoying for me too, I usually don't know the nicknames of the communities I know their IDs
This would be a back-end issue, but community searching uses its names or display names, not the fully qualified one.
To make it work the same as /search, lemmy-ui has to call both /api/v3/search and /api/v3/resolve_object
