Hej,
Where is the documentation for this feature?
I briefly asked Jonas from the Wikidata team, he send me these links to the
docs:
https://www.wikidata.org/w/api.php?action=help&modules=wbsearchentities
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikibase/API/de#wbsearchentities
He also mentioned that he hopes we get it to work with elastic search at
some point which would further improve this function.

It's probably documented somewhere in the API
docs, but it's really
quite easy, just replace the <query> in this URL to search Wikidata:
https://www.wikidata.org/w/api.php?action=wbsearchentities&origin=*&
format=json&language=en&type=property&search=<query>

Concerning keywords in the description field of properties: i think
that is a shortcoming of the current autocomplete API that i'm using,
which is the same one Wikidata uses for the searchbox in the top-right
corner. Apparently they're not indexing those keywords, which makes it
difficult for me to also include them in my search.
Where is the documentation for this feature? I have been getting a
number of
interesting comments from GLAMs about the
difficulty of using Authority
Controls within their in-house Content management systems. I feel like
this
API might be a really tangible way of promoting
Wikidata as facilitating
consistent identifiers for metadata.
Cheers,
Alex
