Do we want to hint the LID in the entries generally? That's T377637, but not sure if that will fix this?

We can't filter Lids from the wbsearchentities, we could only filter them on the frontend.

if we want to maintain them. The response is:

{
    "id": "L7",
    "title": "Lexeme:L7",
    "pageid": 54387119,
    "concepturi": "http://www.wikidata.org/entity/L7",
    "repository": "wikidata",
    "display": {},
    "match": {
        "type": "entityId",
        "text": "L7"
    },
    "aliases": [
        "L7"
    ]
},

Which means there is no information that it is a cat.
we could perhaps fetch the Lexeme if obj.match.type ===' entityId'?
But that is a bit mweh. showing the results would be delayed and such.

The search for "L7" on https://www.wikifunctions.org/view/en/Z6825 is consistent with how wikidata displays drop-down suggestions (filtered for lexemes):
