Why Wkipedia search does not querry the actual language list of any given article?

When switchin between languages it performs sort of a fuzzy search, and more often than not it returns just total nonsense. The only situation when it actually works is when you switch between proper names. I use Wikipedia as a kind of dictionary for more technical terms, and it works quite well in that respect, would it be impossible to make it more specfic?

I don't quite understand how to be more precise. Doing wikipedia search for whatever, say in English and then switching to my native Polish shows nonsensical results, most often totally unrelated to the original query. For example, out of the blue, searching for the term "mother" in the English Wiki and switching to the Polish version gives me these results - (Mother mother (Irish band), Route 66, How I met your mother, Mother Theresa, Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, Sinead O'Connor, Patrick Swayze, Natascha Kampusch, Languages of India, Dalmatia, MILF, Within Temptation, Seattle, Maurizio Gucci, Greg Duplantis, Walt Disney, Andrew Wood, Diane Keaton, Dakota Johnson, Hindu People or Darren Aronofsky but no actual Polish article for Mother.
It is clear from these results that Koreader is trying to find the exact English word in the Polish wiki, however since Polish word for mother is obviously different, it does not find anything

Because that's exactly what you've asked it to do?

There's no implicit translation, you'll have to modify your query accordingly.
