Comment (by danielbachhuber):

 Looping back on this issue, I think we need a read-only `wp/v2/search`
 endpoint that returns matching objects with `title`, `link`, and possibly
 `excerpt`.

 By default, the endpoint would only return searchable posts where
 `show_in_rest=true`. However, a plugin could easily register more fields
 to the returned objects, use ElasticSearch to pull in a mixture of data
 (comments, users, etc.), and so on.
