Steps to reproduce the issue
Install the system plugin Sourcerer from JED:
https://extensions.joomla.org/extension/sourcerer/
https://www.regularlabs.com/extensions/sourcerer/features#sourcerer_downloads_free
Enable the plugin.
Go to Languages - Create a New Override.
Search text you want to change: copy and paste for example the following text:
SRC_TOGGLE_SOURCE_TAGS
Expected result
The language constant is found
Actual result
No matching texts found
System information (as much as possible)
Environment 1: Wampserver, PHP 7.0.10, Joomla 3.8.5 and also Joomla 3.9 latest nightly build.
Environment 2: Linux, PHP 7.0.27, Joomla 3.8.5
Additional comments
This behaviour is not limited to the extension Sourcerer. Confirmed this with a small 'Hello World' system plugin but was unable to attach it to this ticket.
Tried Search with location set to both Site and Administrator with the same result. If you use the language constant and add a new text as override, it works all right in both Site and Administrator when the overrides are created separately, or when 'Both' is selected.
According to @mbabker, "Since 1.6 core has supported a language folder in the extension directory and the override system should support finding those files." Ref. https://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?f=706&t=959242#p3513752
