This appears to be caused by the ranking/sorting system that generates the
suggestions. I'm not sure whether we can do anything about this in Wikibase, it
may be a bug in MediaWiki's OpenSearch implementation.

Anyway, here is what happens:

Select "French" as the target language for the link, then type "mode" into the
input box. The suggestions will be something like:

 Mode
 Modene
 MoDem
 Mode (habillement)
 MOD
 Mod
 Modulation
 Modernisme

So, no "Modem" there, only "MoDem". But if you type in "modem", you get:

 MoDem
 Modem
 Modem ADSM
 ....

The sorting seems eratic to me. Can we just fetch the top 100, sort them
alphabetically (ignoring case), and then show the top 10?
