Go to

Make sure the dropdown in the search box is set to 'EN' - which it would

I think that depends on the skin used. When logged put (so with
default skin) I get a toolbar with the options to which your refer
hidden behind its "advanced search" option.
and then by my count the desired article is 13th on
the page: [[History of Wells Fargo]].
Now, I strongly suspect this could be fixed by making a redirect from
[[Wells Fargo history]] to [[History of Wells Fargo]].
I've made the former a disambiguation page (not a redirect) linking to:
* The [[History of Wells Fargo]]
* The [[Wells Fargo History Museum]]
You could have done that, too!
