I don't think a variation board penetrates into QSearch.
A programmer may implement that and a PV that deep for private debugging,
but a release version will likely limit PV and variation boards to main
search. This is because end user is interested only in PV of best moves,
so to him PV including QSearch is irrelevant and maybe confusing.
