TASK DESCRIPTION
  **Feature summary** (what you would like to be able to do and where):
  I would like to use MediaWiki's API to search for schemas in a Wikibase, just 
as it is possible to search for entities, properties, etc. through 
//wbsearchentities//. As far as I can tell, the API docs do not mention any 
operation similar to the one proposed.
  
  **Use case(s)** (list the steps that you performed to discover that problem, 
and describe the actual underlying problem which you want to solve. Do not 
describe only a solution):
  I'm participating in the development of WikiShape 
<https://wikishape.weso.es/> and one of the tools allows users to analyze 
Wikidata schemas. We would like to suggest schemas as you type in their names 
(like we do with entities here <https://wikishape.weso.es/item>), however this 
is not possible without tricks because there is no way to search for schemas by 
label.
  Maybe a new value "schema" could be added to the //type// parameter in 
//wbsearchentities//.
  
  **Benefits** (why should this be implemented?):
  Working programmatically with Wikidata or any other Wikibase instance in 
general would be way easier and better tools could be created.
