Use "Assets" and "Packages" in the searchInFolders parameter to search in both.

When using the type search t:ObjectType some types will not be found. If this is the case you should provide the FullName.
This will work for types that were previously already being found, so it may be advisable to always use instead of the type Name.

Comment by @fdegryse:

FindAssets will also list sub assets but because sub assets do not have their own GUID, the GUID of their respective main asset will be listed instead.
If multiple sub assets from the same main asset are listed, its GUID will be listed multiple times.

Comment by @Kerfuffles:

Besides t: and l:, other possible values are:
v: Can be used to find objects with different states. e.g. v:modified will show objects that are locally modified
s: Searches by soft lock state. e.g. s:inprogress will show objects modified by anyone, except you
a: Acts as a filter. Possible values are all (all folders), assets (only Assets/), and packages (only Packages/)
b: Searches for assets in asset bundles, by the asset bundle name. e.g. b:mybundle will only look in mybundle asset bundle
ref: Searches by instance ID
glob: Can be used to find assets with extensions of any type, e.g. glob:Assets/**/*.{png|PNG}, which will show any object ending with .png or .PNG in any subfolder.

If the second parameter searchInFolders is an empty array, it will return all assets in the observable universe, instead of no assets, so be very careful with that one lol
