Comment:

 `39965.1.diff` ports over an [https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-
 develop/pull/19 adaptation] of the search controller in Gutenberg:

 * Introduces a `WP_REST_Search_Controller` class which registers a
 `/wp/v2/search` endpoint.
 * Search types are handled by extending `WP_REST_Search_Handler`. The
 default search type is `WP_REST_Post_Search_Handler` but can be filtered
 by plugins or a theme.
 * Includes relevant unit tests.
 * Updates all `@since` references to `5.0.0` and removes the `'gutenberg'`
 textdomain.
