Hi Antonin,
No, that's not correct, that was changed a few years ago. I've been keeping up (well, trying to!). Here's the post from Stas from 4 years ago. https://lists.wikimedia.org/hyperkitty/list/wikidata@lists.wikimedia.org/thr...
The reason I asked about the comma token is that I seemed to recall, perhaps in last 3 years? that it would not affect the simple search (aka wbsearchentities API, aka suggestion dropdown box)
Also, I tried to find something about that on Phabricator, but quickly got into the weeds since I don't know the labels that the team uses. The closest ones I found were these: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/search/query/64FG3L6BYauX/#R but I have no way in the Phabricator Advanced Search to say, only those after the date of Stas' post.

Hi Thad,
This suggestion box does not use ElasticSearch, it uses a simple prefix search on labels and aliases, run directly against the SQL database, I think. ElasticSearch is only used when you go to Special:Search.
Best,

I thought that "," comma was being added to the Elasticsearch token filter as a stopword and excluded from simple search now? Or did I miss something?

Or NO and U+002C comma was decided against being added, and we must use the Advanced Search on Wikidata or the API ?
I noticed that the string "foot locker inc" will not show the entity in the dropdown, but only "foot locker, inc." ? (I've since added the full legal name into the alias to improve searchability, but still would like to know the stopword decision)
