1 If the $fetchrows parameter is passed as comma separated list in order to specify an offset and number of rows to return then the results will be returned in structured array form as below:
- A 'total' element with the total number of rows that would have been returned if no offset or limit had been specified
- A 'data' element containing the search results as normal
