Find US medical codes whose official descriptions match a described concept, via full-text search over the bundled index. Every search term must appear — matched first as a token prefix, then as a substring so inflected and compound forms are also found (a "neuropathy" search surfaces "mononeuropathy"/"polyneuropathy" siblings too, not only a standalone "neuropathy" token). Filter by `system` (ICD10CM/ICD10PCS/HCPCS/RXNORM), `billableOnly` to exclude headers/categories, and `chapter`. Use when you have a clinical description and need the code — the reverse of medcode_get_code. Results echo the resolved system per row for chaining, rank exact prefix matches ahead of substring-only matches with a deterministic tie-break, and disclose truncation with a `nextCursor`: pass it back as `cursor` to page through the full ranked set.
