That only works for some queries, particularly simple ones. Even elaborating the given query into “type of wrench for tight spaces” puts “basin wrench” in 6th place below incorrect wrenches like “oil filter” and “hydraulic torque” (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?search=type+of+wrench...).

That's not the same search URL used in the comment

The "ns" parameters are significant

If use the URL in the comment with this query string then Basin_wrench is #3 result

Monkey_wrench is #1 and Wrench is #2
