#56546: Permit queries by ID in /search REST endpoint

 Priority:  normal       |  Milestone:  Awaiting Review
Component:  REST API     |    Version:  trunk
 Severity:  normal       |   Keywords:
  Focuses:  rest-api     |
-------------------------+-----------------------------
 At present there is no way to retrieve a resource if you only know its
 object type, but not its subtype. Because terms and posts are segregated
 by term type and post type, if I know I have a custom post type object of
 ID 12, I cannot get any further information about it from the REST API
 without somehow either determining its object subtype, or trying all
 custom post type endpoints in turn.

 The `/search` controller permits searching across subtypes, but does not
 support the "include" and "exclude" parameters common to individual post
 type endpoints. We should support these parameters on the `search/`
 endpoint, so that (when relevant) there is a way to query for results
 across subtypes with or without a specific list of IDs.
