Make api nearmatch search work same as 'go' feature

The 'nearmatch' feature of the api is the same as the 'go' feature of on-wiki
search. This makes the nearmatch api feature return the same results as the user
would have gotten in 'go', bringing more parity between api and browser based
searching. Without this change asking for a nearmatch within a namespace fails.
