 r46434 (#47684) made it possible to embed a post within a search results
 response (e.g., `/wp-json/wp/v2/search?search=hello&_embed=self`). The
 object that gets embedded is incomplete, though. For instance, it has
 `slug` and `excerpt`, but not `content`, `status`, `meta`, etc.

 I'd like to be able to make a single request to the search endpoint, and
 obtain everything I need to know about the results, including its embedded
 terms, author, etc. Currently it seems like I need to make one request to
 get the IDs, and then another request to get the full info for all those
 posts.

 A workaround would be `register_rest_field( 'search-result', ...`, but
 modifying the Core endpoint feels hacky.

 Possibly related: #49538, #49985
