Description Max Semenik 2014-11-12 19:57:01 UTC 
Compare https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=info&format=jsonfm&generator=search&gsrsearch=blue&gsrwhat=text and https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=search&format=jsonfm&srsearch=blue&srwhat=text

The API reorders the results by page title due to batch title check and as a result of this, if the order matters (list=search, list=prefixsearch), you have to resort to fragile kludges like list=search&generator=search which is also slower.
