Re: [Mediawiki-api] Using the API to search the MediaWiki

Hi, I am trying to send queries to my installation of MediaWiki outside of MediaWiki. I want to build a test application that searches a major search engine but also the MediaWiki install. I use the API with the list=search call but I don't get a lot of information out of it. Example of call and result: - Call http://127.0.0.1/wiki/api.php?action=query&list=search&srsearch=suc… - Result Is there any way I could get a teaser for each page (like the teasers that you get when you actually search on the wiki)? Like: ============================================================================== Page text matches 1.
