Tagging @AUgolnikova-WMF as product manager on SDoC so that she can prioritize this.
The implementation would need some analysis to ensure that we don't overload the search indices with high cardinality. This might be something to raise through the community wishlist.
For the cardinality bits, i did some analysis and found that P<n> values would only be ~20k items which is <1% of the current cardinality. Once deployed this will still take some time to be fully active, it has to go through a full rerender of wikidata which happens on a 16 week cycle. Deploying this week means that the feature will be fully available in the first week of January, but will start displaying partial results immediatly.
