If i search Wikipedia for something like "cain abel" the results are ordered: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ASearch&profile=default&search=cain+abel&fulltext=Search The top-page is what i'd expect. This returns articles in the same order via the API: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?format=json&action=query&redirects&list=search&srlimit=10&srsearch=cain%20abel : "query": { "searchinfo": { "totalhits": 705 }, "search": [ { "ns": 0, "title": "Cain and Abel", "snippet": "<span class='searchmatch'>Cain</span> and <span class='searchmatch'>Abel</span>. (הֶבֶל ,קַיִן. Qayin, Hevel) were, according to the Book of Genesis , - two sons of Adam and Eve . <span class='searchmatch'>Cain</span> is described as a crop <b>...</b> ", "size": 36249, "wordcount": 5321, "timestamp": "2014-07-21T17:49:45Z" }, { "ns": 0, "title": "Cains & Abels", "snippet": "<span class='searchmatch'>Cains</span> & <span class='searchmatch'>Abels</span> is a musical group originally from Grand Rapids , Michigan currently based in Chicago , Illinois . The band consists of <b>...</b> ", "size": 2956, "wordcount": 353, "timestamp": "2013-03-20T09:54:19Z" }, ..., { "ns": 0, "title": "Abel Cain", "snippet": "<span class='searchmatch'>Abel</span> <span class='searchmatch'>Cain</span> (formerly Sons of El Topo) is a stalled film project written and directed by Alejandro Jodorowsky . It is being produced and <b>...</b> ", "size": 5560, "wordcount": 791, "timestamp": "2014-07-05T14:21:17Z" }, ... If i now want further info about each of the pages i can use a generator like this: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?format=json&action=query&redirects=&indexpageids=&prop=info|categories&clcategories=Category:Disambiguation%20pages&generator=search&gsrlimit=10&gsrsearch=cain%20abel : "query": { "searchinfo": { "totalhits": 705 }, "pageids": [ "30350202", "192648", "31398296", "430215", "24807625", "25433348", "4215000", "29923085", "30158033", "23087052" ], "pages": { "30350202": { "pageid": 30350202, "ns": 0, "title": "Abel Cain", "contentmodel": "wikitext", "pagelanguage": "en", "touched": "2014-07-05T14:21:18Z", "lastrevid": 615697869, "counter": "", "length": 5560 }, "192648": { "pageid": 192648, "ns": 0, "title": "Cain and Abel", "contentmodel": "wikitext", "pagelanguage": "en", "touched": "2014-07-24T10:18:49Z", "lastrevid": 617875627, "counter": "", "length": 36249 }, ... The generator seems to re-order the pages by title. The first result now is not what i'd expect anymore :(. If you reduce the gsrlimit to 1 you can observe that the underlying search seems to have passed the correct page first. Is there any chance the pageids could be ordered as returned by the providing function?
