A page of observed model ids whose id contains query, compared case-insensitively, in catalog order, not a ranking. query omitted or empty matches the whole catalog and still returns at most limit rows. limit follows the historical rule: a missing, empty, zero or other falsy value is 25; any value int() accepts is then clamped into 1..100 (500 becomes 100, a negative becomes 1); a value int() cannot parse is an error and nothing is searched. returned and its compatibility alias count are the rows in this page. matched is how many ids match before the limit. catalog_total and its compatibility alias total_records are every record in the catalog, matching or not. limit is the limit actually applied. count is not the match count, and total_records is not the match count. This is not a verdict and not a proof. Reads published files only.
