Current implementation of suggestions (both spellcheck and autocompletion) returns suggestions from any entity class that share the same search index.
WebDSL uses the Hibernate default, which means that subtypes and supertypes share the same search index.

Example:

Entity Vehicle {
   model :: String ( searchable( analyzer=keyword, spellcheck ) )
   ...
}
Entity Car : Vehicle {
   ...
}

In this case, spellcheck suggestions for Car.model will include suggestions that appear in all entities of (sub)type Vehicle.

Possible workaround: Add a derived property to the subtype entity for which you want to have isolated suggestions, and make this property searchable with spellcheck and/or autocompletion enabled.
