Bug Description

Launchpad Translations does currently not provide a feature to search translations (either within a project or across all projects) for a given word or phrase.

This would, hovever, be extremely useful in a situation like this:

1) While using Ubuntu, I discover a string that is not/badly translated.
2) I want to fix the translation right away.

Currently, I would have to locate the related project in launchpad and go threw some/all of the translatable strings by hand, searching for the one i want to fix. This often takes quite some time.

Including the described feature would make it easyer to find the string I am looking for and increase the chance of me actually fixing/translating it.

This is partly a duplicate of bug 491454 (search only for English strings in entire project). We didn't keep this filed as a bug because we have an open blueprint about this (https://blueprints.launchpad.net/rosetta/+spec/search). It has not been implemented yet because performance considerations need to be taken into account and that makes stuff harder.

Note that we already have a search once you know what project and language you are interested in (so you don't have to go through a lot of strings "by hand" once you find the source package in Launchpad).
