Correct me if am wrong, this is not due to the transliteration, it might occur for any Indic / language text which is entered through more than one keystrore(which might include Inscript as well) due to the nature of algorithm used for instant search?.
I am not sure about the technical details of the project. Santhosh, Shreyas, Junaid, or some one else involved in this project can clarify this.
What I felt is, the reader (here a Medianama employee) tried to search some article in Kannada wikipedia using Kannada transliteration scheme. He didn't got the desired results. This might have happened due to two reasons
- the articles he searched might not be there in kananda wikipedia - the typing scheme he tried was different
If we can enhance the typing tool as per the requirement of reader then that would be nice.

Irrelevant Results? We weren’t too happy with results generated through Indic language transliteration input

Somewhat relevant post by Santhosh here[1] although its about fuzziness.
