Way back in #401 we had added the ability to use get_terms arguments via the filter parameter on taxonomy term collections. Per #924 the beta plugins have removed that support: neither /tags nor /categories is listed as having any support for the filter query property, which has been borne out by my own testing on beta 10.

Lacking filter support for these collections makes it cumbersome for example to search for an individual term by slug: right now it appears my best approach is to ?search=the-term-slug, then iterate through all returned posts until I find a match (for a generic slug search may bring many unrelated terms along for the ride).

I'd like to know whether there are any plans to reinstate this filtering ability, and if not, how querying for individual terms is likely to be handled in upcoming releases?
