-APIs that will be used for this?

Page Finder
This is a demo app for API:Prefixsearch that performs a prefix search for page titles.

Scenario: A user who read a page on Wikipedia about star wars some months ago wants to read the page today. Unfortunately, the user has forgotten the title of the page, the only thing that comes to the user's mind is that the article started with star wars. With this demo app, the user can perform a prefix search with star wars and all the pages beginning with star wars would be displayed. With this, the user would be able to quickly glance through the list of pages displayed and find the exact page.
