Was this using the newt (textual) or the gtk (graphical) frontend? I've just tried the newt frontend and there searching by first letter works fine.
With the graphical frontend, you first have to expand the correct continent _before_ text searching will work.

Could that just be due to not updated translation?

This is probably because we have not added relatime support yet, although there is a BR open about it already.
