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
