Why does a discussion on Russian Wikibooks have any authority to change anything for Russian Wikipedia?

Only ruwikipedia namespaces could be options in search in ruwikipedia, it's just technical restriction.

I would assume that search requests use content namespaces from Russian Wikibooks itself, and recipe namespace might not be marked as a content namespace. If my assumption is correct, this is the only way this can get fixed.

UPD: Yes, https://ru.wikibooks.org/w/api.php?action=query&meta=siteinfo&siprop=namespaces&formatversion=2 shows Recipe/Cookbook namespace not marked as a content namespace. On English Wikibooks, Cookbook namespace is marked as a content namespace.

In this case, it is about showing results from Wikibooks in Wikipedia search, so not necessarily something Russian Wikipedia controls in the present day either.

I think it's a reasonable expectation that when you search for the default namespaces you want the default namespaces to be searched on the sister wikis as well.
