Resolution Note:
This has never been possible. You can only search for component types in the Scene hierarchy because here the entire Prefab is loaded into memory. If searching for Prefab Assets in the Project with a specific component type it would require all Prefab Assets to be loaded into memory.
That said: The search engine is currently being improved so it will be possible in the future. See https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.quicksearch@3.0/manual/index.html
