Description
### Search first
- [x] I searched and no similar issues were found
### What Happened?
In a new block I typed `[[Some Page]]`, attempting to refer to a page named `Some Page` which already existed. Instead, a new page with that name was created.
### Reproduce the Bug
My guess is that if I have a page `Some Page` that doesn't appear in the search index, then attempting to reference `[[Some Page]]` can create a new page instead of referring to the existing one.
Perhaps there is another way to check whether a page with the given name exists, which could be checked before an attempted page reference creates a new page.

Research direction
Reproduce the issue by creating an existing page named “Some Page” that is absent from the search index, then entering `[[Some Page]]` in a new block. Trace how page references resolve names and create pages; done means the existing page is referenced and no duplicate is created, with a regression test covering this case.
