When doing e.g. the following requests: action=wbsearchentities&format=json&search=Italy&language=en&type=item&limit=10&continue= or action=wbsearchentities&format=json&search=Italy&language=en&type=item&limit=10&continue=abc the API returns: {"error":{"code":"internal_api_error_MWException","info":"Exception Caught: Internal error in ApiResult::setElement: Bad parameter","*":"\n\n#0 C:\\xampp\\htdocs\\mediawiki\\includes\\api\\ApiResult.php(185): ApiBase::dieDebug('ApiResult::setE...', 'Bad parameter')\n#1 C:\\xampp\\htdocs\\mediawiki\\includes\\api\\ApiResult.php(374): ApiResult::setElement(Array, 'search', NULL, 0)\n#2 C:\\xampp\\htdocs\\mediawiki\\extensions\\Wikibase\\repo\\includes\\api\\SearchEntities.php(310): ApiResult->addValue(NULL, 'search', NULL)\n#3 C:\\xampp\\htdocs\\mediawiki\\includes\\api\\ApiMain.php(932): Wikibase\\Api\\SearchEntities->execute()\n#4 C:\\xampp\\htdocs\\mediawiki\\includes\\api\\ApiMain.php(364): ApiMain->executeAction()\n#5 C:\\xampp\\htdocs\\mediawiki\\includes\\api\\ApiMain.php(335): ApiMain->executeActionWithErrorHandling()\n#6 C:\\xampp\\htdocs\\mediawiki\\api.php(85): ApiMain->execute()\n#7 {main}\n\n"}} Specifying a PARAM_TYPE and making it an optional parameter should fix the problem.
