Problem is, there is parameter name datasetKey, and search parameter name dataset_key.

Across other APIs like registry, it's apparent we're using ENUM with underscores for search parameters, and lower camel case for other non-search services.

All search parameters are accepted case insensitive and ignore underscores. So its legal to use DATASET_KEY=, dataset_key= or datasetKey=

The later is used in the API documentation now.
