I passed the string "Aminocaproic Acid" to the search method, and no result was returned, even though there is a wikipedia page for that term. I printed the $src variable within the search method and found that it was generating this set of parameters to Wikipedia's index.php: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Aminocaproic%20Acid&action=raw This is the correct set of parameters to get that page: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Aminocaproic_acid&action=raw

Hi, I am not the author nor the maintainer but just wanted to point out that the reason why no result was return when using the code. The URL as mentioned in ticket would be generated if the search string was "Aminocaproic Acid". https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Aminocaproic%20Acid&action=raw However it was compared against search string "Aminocaproic acid". If we change the search string to "Aminocaproic acid" then it would give expected result. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Aminocaproic%20acid&action=raw Best Regards, Mohammad S Anwar
