Hi,
the autocomplete box is using the wbsearchentities api. You could try to
copy the jquery.wikibase.entityselector.js from
wikibase/lib/resources/jquery.wikibase it looks like it works independently
from wikibase. It needs the jqueryui suggester.

Hi Maxime,
After some quick reverse engineering of the site with the Chrome
Developer Tools, here's the API it is using:
http://www.wikidata.org/w/api.php
?callback=[YOUR CALLBACK NAME]
action=wbsearchentities
format=json
language=en
type=item
continue=0
_=[TIMESTAMP (as a cache buster)]
Small correction:
If you don't need the callback, then the API is as follows (note the
missing cache buster):
http://www.wikidata.org/w/api.php
action=wbsearchentities
?action=wbsearchentities (replace '' with '?', copy and paste
oversight, sorry).
