[Developers] Request for search API to return /wikipedia/en

[Sam Halliday]

Hi all,

I make use of the Freebase Search API at http://freebase.com/api/service/search

I'd like to request that the API support returning the "/wikipedia/en"  
key for results (if present). This doesn't need to be the default  
behaviour, but being able to add a parameter such as "wpname=true"  
would be fantastic.

This would help me out a lot. I want to use Freebase for the search,  
but I don't want to have to deal with all the fbuids. Having access to  
the wpid (/wikipedia/en_id) and the wpname (/wikipedia/en) are all I  
need!

Incidentally, I know how to do the resolving (both locally from a WEX  
dump, and using the Freebase MQL API) but I'd just like to skip having  
to do the lookup altogether.
