I notice the documentation says the search functionality is available as of MediaWiki 1.11. http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Query_-_Lists#search_.2F_sr_.28done.29
Yet en.wikipedia.org is at versian 1.12a, and the search function doesn't seem to return anything. For example, http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=search&srsearch=... returns a null-set. Are the docs wrong, or has the implementation changed?
Thanks, --Ian
