If a user is not a member of a project and the project is private, a GET request on that project will result to a 404 status code.

Scope: wiki_blobs (PREMIUM)
Moved to GitLab Premium in 13.9.
This scope is available only if Elasticsearch is enabled.
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.

NOTE:
filename is deprecated in favor of path. Both return the full path of the file inside the repository, but in the future filename will be only the filename and not the full path. For details, see issue 34521.
