CHANGES TO TASK DESCRIPTION
Most Indic-language sites and Commons, which use opensearch for search queries, appear to process characters such as ढ़ढ़, য়য়, ਖ਼ਖ਼, and ଡ଼ଡ଼—note that these are combined, i.e. //not// already decomposed into a consonant and a nukta—appropriately when they are present in search queries, returning appropriate suggestions. (The bolding of the text within the search suggestions corresponding to what was typed does not appear, but that's not quite as troublesome of a matter.)
**Reopened** after deployment because while searches beginning with ইয় return suggestions on test, they do not return anything on Wikidata (try ইয়েমেন and see the item for Yemen not show up).
...
To see 1) for yourself, you can change your interface language to Bengali, copy the text "বিষয়য়শ্রেণী:" ("Category:" in Bengali) and paste it into Wikidata's search box, and see no category pages pop up. Change the "য়"য়" in that word to "য + ়", after removing the two spaces and the plus from that quotation, and such category pages will appear. To see 2) for yourself, change the "য + ়" back to "য়"য়" and add "উইকিপিডিয়া"য়া" (Wikipedia) to the end, and the results shown will not change....
If wbsearchentities does not already normalize the Unicode data passed to it in the "search" parameter, then it becomes really problematic since input methods for languages such as Bengali and Hindi are not always guaranteed to output letters containing nukta as separate characters.**Reopened** after deployment because while searches beginning with ইয় return suggestions on test, they do not return anything on Wikidata (try ইয়েমেন and see the item for Yemen not show up).
