Search API only shows results for Hashtags

[tibor]

Steps to reproduce the problem

Using the Search API without Token shows only Hashtags, Statuses and Profiles are empty: https://mas.to/api/v2/search?q=test https://mastodon.social/api/v2/search?q=test https://mstdn.social/api/v2/search?q=test

Expected behaviour

Statuses and Profiles should appear

Actual behaviour

Only Hashtags appear

Technical details

If this is happening on your own Mastodon server, please fill out those:

• Ruby version: (from ruby --version, eg. v3.4.1)
• Node.js version: (from node --version, eg. v20.18.0)

This is expected, full text search is not available for unlogged users, only hashtag-based search

In my opinion this should then be added to the documentation (https://docs.joinmastodon.org/methods/search/) and/or an error message should be sent back by the API for these fields.

Moving to the documentation repository so this can be addressed here.
