Same behaviour at no.wikipedia. Sometimes it even seems like the
identical article entry is removed from the search result.
A quick-fix could be to use word frequency or tf-idf from the
language, or perhaps from the page your at when you do the search.

In the search box, I get suggestions on the fly as I

often impressed by the good suggestions. However, right now at Wiktionary
I get suggestions that aren't the best ones for the given prefix.
For example, at
en.wiktionary.org if I type "lagru" it doesn't
suggest"lagrum", but instead a bunch of inflected and derived
forms:
lagrumshänvisning
lagrums
lagrumshänvisnings
lagrummets
lagrummen
lagrummet
lagrumshänvisningars
lagrumshänvisningar
lagrumshänvisningarnas
lagrumshänvisningarna
Since these are Swedish entries in the English Wiktionary,
none of these pages get much traffic. Are the completion
suggestions based on traffic stats? In this case, link
count might be a better predictor for best suggestion,
since all derived forms link back to the basic form.
Not much traffic: 5 page views in 30 days,
