Comment (by jnylen0):

 There is some discussion on the ticket that introduced this feature for
 the media library (#22774) about its intended purpose and scope.  For
 example (ticket:22744#comment:32):

 > visitors likely don't know or care about file names anyway

 I could argue this one either way.  It's worth considering whether to
 allow every API user (including unauthenticated) to search filenames.
 However, we already expose the filenames in the response of `/media`, and
 media search in the API should support the same features as the search in
 the wp-admin media library.

 @joemcgill @swissspidy since you worked on adding filename search to the
 media library, what do you think about supporting this in the API also?
