So to wrap this up, the reason why the **page** suggester is a //suggester// 
and not a //selector// is that the front end API request ...
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=opensearch&search=Kittens
... is different from the back end API request ...
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=info&redirects=1&converttitles=1&format=json&titles=Kittens
... and they may return slightly different results. With "different" having two 
meanings:

1. //Missing// results, in my humble opinion, qualify as a bug.
2. If different //order// (e.g. ".net" is not the 1st if you search for ".NET") 
qualifies as a bug could probably be disputed.

I understand that both is nothing we can easily fix, if at all.

I still think the described feature is important in most other selectors, but 
they already have it, right?
