The search returns Comoros, Jordan, Mexico and Myanmar!! Not sure what is logic behind partial text search. image

Well, Mexico's full name is United States of Mexico. Then you have Union of the Comoros and Republic of the Union of Myanmar. I'm trying to find out why is Jordan in the list.

EDIT: for Jordan, one of the translations reads "al-Mamlakah al-Urdunīyah al-Hāshimīyah", so Urdunīyah contains uni

Thank you for the explanation. Now it makes sense.
