The search suggestions box does not give suggestions for pages outside the main namespace.

raising to major as this is getting pretty annoying
not a great description but I can confirm this doesn't behave how I expect. go to mediawikiwiki and start typing in search: "project:i" vs. go to wikidatawiki and start typing in search: "wikidata:intro" I'm not sure offhand how one checks whether a given wiki is cirrus or not these days. (and too sleepy to try to figure it out!) My guess is this is unrelated to the fact that it's a repo or has the wikidata extensions. => Nik/Chad for investigation good night!
No this is specific to the special suggester written for Wikidata. It simply only takes items into account at the moment.
[ops-triage: No ops territory, hence removing keyword]
Possible solution for the issue: the wbsearchentities API module would need to be extended with a parameter that says "give me non-entity pages too" and then return them, making them look like entities in the API. The other solution would be to make two calls, one to wbsearchentities and one to the MediaWiki pages search and then combine the results in the JavaScript. I have a preference for the first solution.
