- only show the placeholder if item has at least 10 (or any other number) statements to have only "relevant" items.

I don't think so. The placeholder is useful if:
- There're a description in given language (which can be the preloaded text of a new article)
- There're enough statements to generate a automated description (example)
Comment Actions
See T99895#1448568, they don't want to generate text, or at least not specifically for this feature.
If the article placeholder is just a list of properties, what's the added value compared to linking (or redirecting to) the Wikidata item from Special:Search?
Comment Actions
Baically it boils down to: It should be displayed much nicer. It should be filtered. It should be a local experience.

Should probably use the SpecialSearchResultsAppend hook for injecting the HTML.
For searching a TermIndex from ClientStore::getTermIndex should be used. TermIndex::getTopMatchingTerms on labels and aliases will provide the TermIndexEntry including the ItemIds of the Items to additionally list on the result page (see also TermIndexSearchInteractor which does something similar).
The entries should be shown as labels linked to the ArticlePlaceholder pages of the respective ItemIds. The description should be shown below the linked labels to give additional details.
