TASK DESCRIPTION I was trying to search Wikidata for `לרמונטוב`, which is the Hebrew spelling of the last name of the Russian poet Mikhail Lermontov <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q46599>. The search box didn't show any autocompletions. This happened in the general search box at the top of the site, and when trying to enter a statement value. When I tried to write `מיכאיל לרמונטוב`, which is the full Hebrew label, the autocompletion did work. It would be nicer if it worked also with just the last name, because Mikhail is a very common first name, while Lermontov would definitely give me the person I was searching for as the first result, because it's not a common last name, and this would save me a few seconds. When running a full search for `לרמונטוב`, I do get the right item at the top of the results. This task is just about autocompletion, which is especially useful in the statement value box.
