That search seems to be rather fuzzy and returns a list of items ordered by relevance, based on incoming links, templates, language etc. Apparently there is no easy configuration of request parameters (such as srqiprofile, srwhat, srsort, ...) that puts exact title matches on top of the returned list, while leaving the fuzzy search results in. However, exact string search is supported and the user can easily work around the issue by wrapping their "search string" in double-quotes. > On a side note, the search box in the upper right corner of commons.wikimedia.org also performs a background search via commons API, using the "opensearch" action. That one only searches the titles and correctly returns a single result when given an exact file name. However, that's probably not desirable in this use case here. Can we use another API endpoint in the frontend instead? Like "opensearch".
