Description denny vrandecic 2013-07-11 14:26:50 UTC 
The OpenSearch API on wikidata.org returns an empty list always.

See e.g. http://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:ApiSandbox#action=opensearch&format=json&search=D&limit=10
Comment 2 Brion Vibber 2013-07-12 17:23:54 UTC 
Technically it's working fine, it just isn't very helpful because the main namespace holds only data items with non-meaningful titles:

https://www.wikidata.org/w/api.php?action=opensearch&search=Q

[
    "Q",
    [
        "Q2242097",
        "Q658177",
        "Q13471093",
        "Q1918357",
        "Q2394646",
        "Q2311185",
        "Q1043760",
        "Q840343",
        "Q229548",
        "Q223323"
    ]
]

You probably want to use some hooks (I *think* there are some already) to replace the OpenSearch handler's prefix searching with something more wikibase-friendly.
