Using the Confluence API how can I mimic the response set I get from the UI

Question

I am looking to use the Confluence API to search for a term or phrase and the results I am getting back are in a very different order than when I perform the same search in the Confluence UI.

I am searching for the phrase and I only want to search pages and blogs

agile scrum team

So I am passing

( text~"agile" OR text~"agile*" OR text~"scrum" OR text~"scrum*" OR text~"teams" OR text~"teams*" ) and type IN (page,blogpost) and space.type!="personal"

But the result set order is extremely different than when I search through the UI.

What can I do to mimic the sort order and relativity rankings that are present in the UI?

Thank you

Thank you. Is there anything beyond that? Right now the relevance is the issue. If I search for and I have a page titled with the used through the page it isn't in the first 50 results from the API but in the UI it's the first.

@Sean Coleman You can order CQL results in ascending or descending order.  For more information see https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/advanced-searching-using-cql/#order-by .
