Wish: As a user, I want both the page title and the page ID to be shown in the search results, when I use the API search. Currently, only the page title is shown.
Ideally, displaying the page ID would be optional.

@ShapeOfMatter, are you adding a pageid parameter to the srprop parameter of the search API? I think that's the way to go.
Can you add me as a reviewer please?
I assume I can do both of those things :) but i'm not yet sure how. Let me know if you'd like to talk about this at all.
Looking at the docs for the search API, and experimenting with the API sandbox, I'm not sure it does make sense to add an srprop parameter. The page title is returned without being specified in srprop, and one would imagine the page id to be similarly fundamental. Assuming the results are being ingested properly as json objects by all users, adding a new field they weren't expecting shouldn't have any downsides.
I'm still getting oriented. I'm hoping to learn more about how to actually work on this ticket at the 2pm beginers' workshop.

This sound good to me. Go ahead!
