The answers parameter was recently added to most of the requests that return a list of questions. See: Don’t include answers in question lists by default

It looks like the /search request got left out. It appears to never return answers.

This is [by-design].

/search is already pretty resource intensive, and not returning answers is a conscious effort to reduce its runtime.

The answers parameter does not appear in the documentation for /search accordingly.
