Resolve free text into localities and projects. Each item returns the name, the type (locality or project), the locality id or project id as an integer, the city name and id, and for projects a cover image. These ids are what every other endpoint takes, so they are always returned as integers and never in the packed form. An empty suggestion list for a valid query is a successful response.
