[Mediawiki-api] Performing a text search

I want to search the mediawiki database and get the page with the closest match to my search text. For example, on entering the search string "igor stravinsky persephone" I want to get a link to this page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pers%C3%A9phone_%28Stravinsky%29 The following query /w/api.php?action=query&list=search&format=xml&srsearch=igor%20stravinsky%20persephone&srlimit=1 almost gets what I want but the data returns does not include the pageid: <p ns="0" title="Perséphone (Stravinsky)" snippet="(&lt;span class=&#039;searchmatch&#039;&gt;Persephone&lt;/span&gt; ) is a musical work (mélodrame) for speaker, solo singers, chorus, dancers and orchestra with music by &lt;span class=&#039;searchmatch&#039;&gt;Igor&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&#039;searchmatch&#039;&gt;Stravinsky&lt;/span&gt; and a &lt;b&gt;...&lt;/b&gt; " size="2500" wordcount="313" timestamp="2012-05-13T07:21:00Z" /> Is this the right way to go about it? Is the title returned a unique ID which I can use to get more detail of the page?
