I don't think it's just a stemming issue. The first Wikipedia page for 
the search "alternative vote" for me is the one for instant-runoff 
voting (although it's not the first actual match).

Maybe you'd say that doesn't count, since it isn't the first match. But 
searching for "top two runoff" gives me the Wikipedia article on the 
"Two-round system" as the first match. That's hardly the same phrase.
