Answer: we don't know yet, because there are Infinity ways to search. But for action=opensearch, http://ironholds.org/misc/api_presentation.html might make an interesting read.
We're trying to document all the various forms of API search so that we can do more ad-hoc and regular analysis of this stuff. There's an awesome start at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Search_and_discovery that looks pretty complete - if anyone is aware of API methods /not/ listed there, please put them in, or reply here and I will :)
This is amazing.

looks pretty complete
There's a bunch of stuff (code, live HTML demos) that links to my GitHub, which I would *love* some help to migrate to something WMF, but I don't know what (labs? gerrit?).
If anyone knows better places for this stuff, I'd love to hear about it.
Also, me not write good. If anyone wants to help pretty up the narrative, that would be great too!

Neat! Few questions:
http://ironholds.org/misc/api_presentation.html#/8 - Do we know how many of these requests are from people using Wikipedia's search box versus people using a browser add-on or browser built-in search? Also, what is "The Dreaded NativeHost"?
http://ironholds.org/misc/api_presentation.html#/10 - what does "default" mean? Does that mean no format parameter was specified? Is "jsonh" a typo for "jsonp" or something else entirely?

We don't, but we can approximate using the referer data - so call it a 25%/50% split.
The dreaded nativehost; user agent parsing is hard enough without people writing internet-enabled code that acts like an ass ;). It's the default UA for windows-launched things, if the thing-designer doesn't override.

Default means no specification, yep - jsonh is almost certainly a tyop.
