Hi again,

The underlying Wikipedia API request is to the best of my
understanding essentially the same as a regular on-Wikipedia search.
You might get better results by setting the optional second parameter
"opt_didYouMean" to true like so: =WIKISEARCH("search term", TRUE). In
some cases it then shows the most probable alternative result that you
might have wanted to actually search for instead. Give it a spin.
Also, together with the pipeline I have set up for you in the sheet,
you can filter on type, so when you know you are looking for "instance
of: human", you can exclude anything non-human. Hope this helps!
Cheers,
Tom
