File search

[alxgsv]

API docs: https://uploadcare.com/docs/api/rest/file/search-files/

Summary

Adds high-level and REST file search, preserves POST criteria across pagination, and exposes search highlights.

Verification

• 717 examples, 0 failures (Ruby 4.0.1)
• 95.78% line coverage; new search operation/result files have 100% executable-line coverage
• RuboCop: no offenses
• Gem build, eager-load smoke check, YARD generation, and all Ruby example syntax checks pass

Merge and release

This PR is stacked on #191 and must merge after it. File tags and search are additive features intended for the next minor release. Before preparing 5.1.0, sync the already-published v5.0.1 release history from 5-0-stable back into main.

Walkthrough

The PR adds client.files.search with structured criteria, POST-aware query handling, highlights, paginated results, REST and workflow examples, and documentation.

Changes

File search

Layer / File(s)	Summary
POST query and body transport lib/uploadcare/api/rest.rb, lib/uploadcare/api/rest/files.rb, spec/uploadcare/api/rest*	REST requests separate POST bodies from query parameters. File search sends criteria in JSON and pagination options in the query string.
File search execution and resource mapping lib/uploadcare/client/files_accessor.rb, lib/uploadcare/resources/file.rb, lib/uploadcare/operations/file_search.rb, spec/uploadcare/client_spec.rb, spec/uploadcare/resources/file_spec.rb	The client exposes file search. The operation maps responses to file resources and exposes highlight data.
POST search pagination lib/uploadcare/collections/paginated.rb, lib/uploadcare/collections/file_search_result.rb, spec/uploadcare/collections/file_search_result_spec.rb	Search collections preserve frozen criteria and resend them with continuation query parameters.
Examples and documentation README.md, CHANGELOG.md, context7.json, examples/*, api_examples/*, spec/api_examples/example_helper_spec.rb	Documentation and Ruby examples describe file search, pagination, highlights, and delayed indexing. An API helper polls for indexed results.

minimal, and validate.

Inline comments:
In `@examples/file_search.rb`:
- Around line 28-29: Update the next-page output in the results pagination flow
to call count on the FileSearchResult returned by results.next_page instead of
length, while preserving the existing conditional output behavior.

In `@lib/uploadcare/collections/file_search_result.rb`:
- Around line 12-14: Preserve the initial query options in FileSearchResult by
retaining an immutable copy in initialize, pass those options from
Uploadcare::Operations::FileSearch, and merge them into fetch_response
continuation parameters so next-page limit and offset override initial values.
Add a pagination test covering a next URL that omits include while ensuring
include remains on subsequent requests.

In `@README.md`:
- Around line 411-412: Update the README search-field documentation to include
document UUID, noting that query matches a file UUID and referencing the
existing REST API example behavior.
