API Endpoint or Feature

It would be very useful to have a search endpoint in the REST API.

Use-Case

Exploring using Bookstack as a user guide for an application, but we plan to develop a context-sensitive-help feature which will allow users to search help docs from within the application. A search endpoint in the REST API would be essential for this. Thanks!

Thanks for the request @come2thecabaret.

I've just come across #909, which was opened before we finished, or even started, work on the API. Since that covers the same request I'll close this off as a duplicate.

You can do some level of searching via the current API endpoints. Please see my comment in #909 to see how this would be done.
