You can't do this because you don't have all the information available
to you that the search service uses.  In particular it uses anchor
text from Wikipedia articles in addition to things that you can get at
from MQL (names & aliases).

If latency is your concern, have you considered posting the requests
asynchronously and pipelining your processing?
