Comment:

 That `@see` line that you quoted is meant as a modifier on the paragraph
 above:

 {{{
 The optional $filter parameter modifies the query used to retrieve posts.
 Accepted keys are 'post_type', 'post_status', 'number', 'offset',
 'orderby', and 'order'.
 }}}

 You're right that there's a doc bug that the `s` filter is missing both in
 code and in the Codex, that probably deserves a simple patch.

 With regards to the suggestion to pass through `$filter` to
 `wp_get_recent_posts`, I think the core devs had some reservations about
 that approach when we added this in 3.4. It would be nice to have more
 filter parameters for richer querying, but there might have been
 security/compatibility/performance concerns that made us not do this
 originally.
