Hl7.Fhir.R4B v3.2.0 NuGet package doesn't contain SearchParamDefinitions

Describe the bug
We are trying to add R4B functionality into the Spark repo. And we got tests failing because there's no search param defs included into the Hl7.Fhir.R4B package. The defs should be generated, but they are empty in the source code:

Template-ModelInfo.cs

    public static List<SearchParamDefinition> SearchParameters = new List<SearchParamDefinition>()
    {
    };

To Reproduce
Just list the contents of ModelInfo.SearchParameters.

Expected behavior
ModelInfo.SearchParameters list is not empty.

Version used:

• FHIR Version: R4B
• Version: 3.2.0

This is indeed the case. HL7 has "forgotten" to include most of the search parameters in the R4B release. We have notified them (see https://jira.hl7.org/browse/FHIR-32782), so I expect that this will be repaired in the next update of FHIR R4B. After HL7 has published a new version, we'll update our NuGets as well.

Let's keep it open so we can double check that they have indeed added them for the next release.

At least for R5 (http://hl7.org/fhir/2021May/hl7.fhir.r5.core.tgz) this issue seems to be fixed. Would it be possible to generate the search parameter for R5 for the next release?

This has been resolved in release 3.8.0 of this library. See here for more information.
