Hi,
the autocomplete box is using the wbsearchentities api. You could try to
copy the jquery.wikibase.entityselector.js from
wikibase/lib/resources/jquery.wikibase it looks like it works independently
from wikibase. It needs the jqueryui suggester.

Hi,
I'm looking for a way to reproduce the autocomplete on wikidata search
field in an external app (to tag resources with wikidata entities ids), but
so far I couldn't find what could allow me to do this in the API doc.
In a little experiment <https://github.com/maxlath/wikidata-autocomplete>,
I tried to use the API action *wbsearchentities*, but it appear to be
inefficient until I reach the full name... Is there already a way to query
such an "autocomplete API" or any plans to implement one? Or even better,
is there a way to easily re-use the wikidata search field widget? in a
non-PHP project? :D
Any clue welcome :)
Best regards,
Max
