Yeah, there are some weird (but apparently popular) suggestions there.

coc -> cocaine first, and then coca cola
peg -> pegging (sexual practice) is third, higher than anyone named peggy
ob -> Osama bin Laden first, and Obama nowhere on the list
oba -> gets Obama to 3rd place, but even searching for obama still has
Osama bin Laden as the first result
mur -> Murray-Darling steamboat people (what the heck???)

One other oddity: Searching for a digit works great for 1 through 9. But
searching for 0 doesn't bring up ANY results, either for the suggester, or
for prefix search. Doing an actual search on enwiki for 0 brings up a
disambig page with lots of reasonable candidate results.
