In the very early releases (5x) the /export handler had a different format then the /search handler. Later the /export handler was changed to have the same basic response format as the /search handler. This was done in anticipation of unifying /search and /export at a later date.
The /export handler still powers the parallel relational algebra expressions. In Solr 7.0 there is a shuffle expression that always uses the /export handler to sort and partition result sets. In 6x the search expression can be used with the qt=/export param to use the /export handler.
