David Snelling f86295eab8 **feat(search): enhance JSON document search with field-level filtering and prioritization**
- Added support for field-specific and prioritized searches in `brainyData`:
  - Introduced `searchField` option to enable targeted field-level searches.
  - Implemented `priorityFields` option for weighted vectorization and query relevance.
- Developed utilities in `jsonProcessing.ts` and `fieldNameTracking.ts`:
  - `extractTextFromJson` for text extraction with customizable depth and field prioritization.
  - `extractFieldFromJson` to target specific fields in JSON documents.
  - `prepareJsonForVectorization` for optimized JSON vectorization.
- Enhanced management of field names and mappings:
  - Integrated `trackFieldNames` to associate fields with their services.
  - Supported cross-service consistency through `standardFieldMappings`.
- Updated documentation:
  - Added detailed guides for JSON search enhancements and HNSW limitations.
  - Extended usage examples in `README.md` and `json-search-test.js`.
- Verified improvements with comprehensive tests:
  - Created unit and integration tests demonstrating search behavior improvements.
  - Addressed previous TypeScript errors related to search parameters.

**Purpose**: Improve search accuracy and usability when working with complex JSON documents by enabling field-specific searches and enhancing contextual relevance.

# Changes Made to Fix TypeScript Error
## Issue
TypeScript error in `src/brainyData.ts` at line 4339:
```
Object literal may only specify known properties, and 'searchField' does not exist in type '{ forceEmbed?: boolean | undefined; nounTypes?: string[] | undefined; includeVerbs?: boolean | undefined; searchMode?: "local" | "remote" | "combined" | undefined; searchVerbs?: boolean | undefined; verbTypes?: string[] | undefined; searchConnectedNouns?: boolean | undefined; verbDirection?: "outgoing" | ... 2 more ...'.
```
## Changes Made
1. Added the `searchField` property to the options parameter in the main `search` method
2. Added the `searchField` property to the options parameter in the `searchRemote` method
3. Added the `searchField` property to the options parameter in the `searchCombined` method
## Verification
- TypeScript type checking with `npx tsc --noEmit` completed without errors
- Build process with `npm run build` completed successfully without the previous error
- All tests passed with `npm test`, confirming that our changes didn't break existing functionality
