Marcel Amirault 73c6477b7e Changing badges to use parentheses not brackets
Previously, we used brackets to denote the tier badges,
but this made Kramdown, the docs site Markdown renderer,
show many warnings when building the site. This is now
fixed by using parentheses instead of square brackets.

This was caused by [PREMIUM] looking like a link to
Kramdown, which couldn't find a URL there.

# Search API
[Introduced][ce-41763] in GitLab 10.5
Every API call to search must be authenticated.
## Global Search API
Search globally across the GitLab instance.
```
GET /search
```
| Attribute | Type | Required | Description |
| ------------------- | ---------------- | ---------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `scope` | string | yes | The scope to search in |
| `search` | string | yes | The search query |
Search the expression within the specified scope. Currently these scopes are supported: projects, issues, merge_requests, milestones, snippet_titles, snippet_blobs, users.
If Elasticsearch is enabled additional scopes available are blobs, wiki_blobs and commits. Find more about [the feature](../integration/elasticsearch.md). **(STARTER)**
The response depends on the requested scope.

## Group Search API

| `id` | integer/string | yes | The ID or [URL-encoded path of the group](README.md#namespaced-path-encoding) owned by the authenticated user |
| `scope` | string | yes | The scope to search in |
| `search` | string | yes | The search query |
Search the expression within the specified scope. Currently these scopes are supported: projects, issues, merge_requests, milestones, users.
If Elasticsearch is enabled additional scopes available are blobs, wiki_blobs and commits. Find more about [the feature](../integration/elasticsearch.md). **(STARTER)**

### Scope: wiki_blobs
Filters are available for this scope:
- filename
- path
- extension
To use a filter simply include it in your query like: `a query filename:some_name*`.
You may use wildcards (`*`) to use glob matching.
Wiki blobs searches are performed on both filenames and contents. Search
results:
- Found in filenames are displayed before results found in contents.
- May contain multiple matches for the same blob because the search string
might be found in both the filename and content, or might appear multiple
times in the content.
```bash
curl --request GET --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your_access_token>" https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/6/search?scope=wiki_blobs&search=bye
```
Example response:
```json
[
{
"basename": "home",
"data": "hello\n\nand bye\n\nend",
"filename": "home.md",
"id": null,
"ref": "master",

"project_id": 6
}
]
```
### Scope: commits
```bash
curl --request GET --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your_access_token>" https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/6/search?scope=commits&search=bye
