By the way, what is the difference between this "gsrsearch" and the
"srsearch" parameter from the docs?
The documentation only mentions "srsearch" but the example is formulated
with "gsrsearch".

wbsearchentities is a Wikibase-specific API; the
normal MediaWiki search
function uses a different search configuration, which you can query in
the API via:
action=query&generator=search&gsrsearch=SEARCHTERM&gsrnamespace=0|120
For example:
https://www.wikidata.org/w/api.php?action=query&generator=search&gs…
Note that you need to sort the result list by the 'index' of each result
(I’m not sure why the API doesn’t do that for you).

Hi,
The search results obtained by these two approaches are ordered
differently:
method1: using the wikidata API
<https://www.wikidata.org/w/api.php?action=help&modules=main>
https://www.wikidata.org/w/api.php?action=wbsearchentities&search=Marut…
method2: search on wikidata Page
<https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?search=&search=&title=Special%3ASearch&go=Go>
https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?search=&search=Maruti&title=Sp…
Intrestingly, in method2, the search suggestion drop-down list has the
same order as that of method1 (see screenshot).
q1. How can I obtain results in the same order as that of method2
using the wikidata API (i.e., method 1).
q2. Which of the two ordering is in general more
"relevant/accurate/better"
Thanks for any help/hints.
Best regards,
Raveesh
