JSON & XML Format Result Difference
I just wanted to know why there is difference between the results for XML and JSON output formats?

Exact search
Hi

Is there a way to do a case-insensitive exact search (diacritic independant) ?

for example I'd like to look for articles about "GEANT" on fr.wiktionnaire.org. There are 2 answwers : "Géant" and "géant"

But : http://fr.wiktionary.org/w/api.php?action=opensearch&search=geant&format=json gives me :

["geant",["g\u00e9ant","g\u00e9ante","G\u00e9ant","g\u00e9ants","g\u00e9ante gazeuse","G\u00e9ants","g\u00e9ante rouge","g\u00e9ante bleue","g\u00e9ante de glace","g\u00e9ant des Flandres"]]

wheras I'd like to get only

["geant",["g\u00e9ant", "G\u00e9ant" ]]

Another example would be http://fr.wiktionary.org/w/api.php?action=opensearch&search=CREE&format=json which replies

["CREE",["cr\u00e9er","Cree","cr\u00e9\u00e9","cr\u00e9\u00e9e","creek","cr\u00e9eras","creer","creed","creep","cr\u00e9ent"]]

I'd like to get only :

["CREE",["Cree","cr\u00e9\u00e9"]]

By the way "cr\u00e9e" (which exists) seems to be missing ?

How can I do that (of course I could post a post-query filter, but I guess this should be possible natively) ?

Thx

examples not reflect the real searches
Recently, the examples are different with the links they gave, resulting in different XML format and layout. Don't really know what they have changed!

I just found out it is missing "Description" in the XML return.
