--- Comment #3 from Jörn Hees <[email protected]> ---
I actually disagree that this is simply a duplicate of bug 14859:
in bug 14859 the op already knows the order of titles he's querying for. Here
search internally returns the order to the generator but that information is
just destroyed and never given to the end user, causing us to need two queries
instead of just one.

I don't see how not destroying that ordering information and returning it as an
optional index list would have any significant performance impact.

If one is considered about re-ordering the up to 500 "pages" results one could
even leave them in the order they are in atm [1], because with that optional
index list from the generator input function one could actually resort the
results on client side as mentioned in bug 14859. Additionally generator=search
would not need 2 individual queries.

@Brad: Would be nice if you could reconsider your decision on this one and
maybe reopen it.


[1]: (they are actually a result dict not list, so it's probably not wise to
rely on their order anyhow)
