Description
Hi,
I'd like to use the search API but provide the after parameter. I was surprised to see there's no parity to posts and it's not supported.
https://developer.wordpress.org/rest-api/reference/posts/
https://developer.wordpress.org/rest-api/reference/search-results/
Is there a reason most, if not all, params supported by posts aren't present in search? Can they be?
Thanks.

Hi @archon810,
The purpose of the Search endpoint is to provide a unified, minimal interface for performing basic searches across a variety of different WordPress entities; it has been recently extended to support terms and post formats.
Searching by date isn't something that can be universally implemented.
I would instead recommend using the existing posts endpoint for performing those searches, or implementing a custom endpoint.
