This is on the agenda, though it has two issues to solve:
1. Wikidata search is not great as such. We're working on it, but will
take time to get it all.
2. Once we do the above, we may use internal Blazegraph API to have much
tighter intergration with search, not going through Mediawiki API, which
would allow better control over search parameters and flexibility. This
will require some work too, though.

We could of course use search in Wikipedia and other wikis right now,
which is in much better shape, but then we need to do some work to get
back to Wikidata IDs. Doable, but we need to think which option is
better. Maybe there would be several of them. But yes, this is
definitely something that is on the agenda.
