Perform a prefix search for page titles.

Despite the similarity in names, this module is not intended to be equivalent to Special:PrefixIndex; for that, see action=query&list=allpages with the apprefix parameter. The purpose of this module is similar to action=opensearch: to take user input and provide the best-matching titles. Depending on the search engine backend, this might include typo correction, redirect avoidance, or other heuristics.

Parameters:

pssearch

Search string.

This parameter is required.

psnamespace

Namespaces to search.

Values (separate with | or alternative): 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15

To specify all values, use *.

Standaard: 0

pslimit

Maximum number of results to return.

No more than 500 (5.000 for bots) allowed.

Type: integer or max

Standaard: 10

When more results are available, use this to continue.

Type: integer

Standaard: 0
