Title search too strict - is there a way of "loosening" the search up?

[merefield]

I'm trying to search using a looser set of keywords without knowing the exact title (I'm sure I'm far from alone and this would be the standard case).

I might even be very close, but I'm not returning the desired article (which exists) purely because I'm not matching the title exactly - this can literally be a case of wrong word order or use of brackets in the title.

Can the API return the most likely search result (e.g. how the web page shows the search results) too?

Looking for the same stuff, have you figured out how to do that?

I think it really depends on what wikipedia API is offering, not whether the client have that functionality.
