Try using
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=search&srsearch=Anatomical%20structure&format=xml
Note you can change the parameter (srwhat) to search for the words only
in the Title of the article or the text or near match.
Parse it to get the element called title.
That should work.

Hi,
I want to search Wikipedia and get first search result (in fact
only the title of the result). Could someone tell me what is the API
call that I need to use in MediaWiki API?
I tried "query" and "opensearch" calls but they didn't return the
results I expected. They didn't return any search result. The title I
used was "Anatomical structure". The requirement is that I need to
access (get) the title of the first search result.
