`filesSearchMatch` has no `media_info`?

I'm using Dropbox Javascript SDK. In documentation, (http://dropbox.github.io/dropbox-sdk-js/global.html#FilesSearchMatch) `FilesSearchMatch` could have `FilesFileMetadata` and, `FilesFileMetadata`...

That behavior is correct. The `media_info` isn't available in FilesFileMetadata in FilesSearchMatch, as retrieved by filesSearch, unfortunately, but I'll pass this along as a feature request.

 

If you want the `media_info`, you should retrieve the metadata using filesGetMetadata or filesListFolder/filesListFolderContinue, and set include_media_info to true, i.e., in FilesGetMetadataArg for filesGetMetadata or FilesListFolderArg for filesListFolder.

    Thank you. I changed my code to use `filesGetMetadata` additionally.
    But I think if `FilesSearchMatch` could provide `media_info` also would be nicer.
