I turned off unified search in Nightly and the problem is still there.

From investigation, this is unrelated to unified search. The problem is we're getting a 410 Gone response when trying to retrieve suggestions from Amazon. Testing and some searching shows that we should set client=amazon-search-ui. Testing shows that this fixes the 410 Gone response fetch suggestions correctly.

Going through search settings I see that other locales do not have suggestion support. Going through desktop settings to add available suggestions to supported Amazon locales.
