Some items are not found by reconciliation ... maybe due to a large number of similar items? #130

I am using https://wikidata.reconci.link/cs/api

Lets say we have this table with two data rows:

street admist.entity country
Smetanova Q541071 Q213
Boženy Němcové Q541071 Q213

I want to reconcile the street names in the first column. Settings:

Only the second street is successfully reconciled although Smetanova (https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q45168712) exists too. This is not limited to https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q45168712, I have other similar examples like this. I suspect it could be due to an extremely large number of items named "Smetanova" in Wikidata. Only the first few (hundred) are loaded and taken into consideration and https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q45168712 likely isn't among them...
