Description

Is your feature or enhancement request related to a problem or limitation? Please describe

Python SDK users have to run CLI commands to search data sets 😢

Describe your enhancement idea

It would be awesome to natively support searching data sets, perhaps via some Files.search_data_set functionality.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Run CLI command:

  • zowe files search

Research direction

Start in the Python SDK's Files API and compare its available operations with the zowe files search CLI command. Define the Files.search_data_set entry point and consider the request and result shape; the work is done when Python SDK users can search data sets without invoking the CLI.
