Hi again,
I forgot one question : would it be possible to add an other parameter than apprefix to search all titles containing a given word, not only titles begining with a given word ? That would be very helpful for me (writing a tool to fix red links by searching for an existing article that could be used instead).

To search in titles, use list=search&srwhat=title

Thanks, but it doesn't seem to work.
I tried the 3 examples provided at http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php and they all end up with empty results : http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=search&srsearch=... http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=search&srwhat=te... http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&generator=search&gsrs...

That's because Wikimedia uses the Lucene search background, which does not work with the API yet.

Ok, thanks for the answer.
So, I am back with my suggestion for an other parameter for allpages query giving the ability to find all titles containing a given word (which sould be easy to implement, seeing how apprefix is implemented).
