Zylvian, is this the search you are referring to? If so, the behavior you described is exactly as expected. The order of the page titles follows a pretty standard string sorting algorithm. "list=allpages" is not a page search, it blindly lists the pages on the wiki. "apfrom=" simply tells it at which point to start showing results. The query I linked to is asking for the first 10 pages that exist on the wiki that, when sorted by pagename, come after "Grandpa Garp". If "Grandpa Garp" actually exists, it is counted as the first page. Yet when searching on the actual site, it fetches the right search: https://gyazo.com/8609947c1be428e86cbf9de669e40fbe

Quoting your first message, I can't use "allpages=" together with "redirects=", as stated in my original post.

What I'm looking for is the accuracy of the search bar, but through the API, as well as an "all the way through" redirect fetcher.
