Different result for search string

Hey Dharmendra,

The search API gives you a lot more control over the search process. It allows you to enter a query with lucene query syntax (more on lucene query syntax here), create different types of queries (one_or_more, phrase, search), and control sorting. This makes it difficult to identically recreate what you see in the Ask A Question widget. See more details about how to use search here.

Here are a few suggestions to get closer to what you want:

1) instead of q use one_or_more or use fuzzy/wildcard search (with probl* or with probl~)

2) set the date range you want to search on (using "date:[<start date> TO <end date>]" using Unix timestamps inside q)

3) set the sorting you want using sort_by argument

Hope this helps,

Yuri
