This is only used from the wbsearchentities API used for autosuggest. The code 
currently first gets an exact match on entity id, then exact matches, then in a 
3rd query prefix matches if more matches are wanted. Quite many 3 or less 
letter combinations have enough exact matches. The query in question is a 3rd 
one. Limiting prefix matches to 4 or more letters is probably sensible for now. 
Long term I like the cirrus way.

Request that causes this query:
