Fuzzy text search across route names, descriptions, and category labels. Resolves natural-language queries like "electricity retail sales by state" or "natural gas imports" to matching route paths. Multi-term queries are also matched term by term, so combining a commodity, a metric, and a sector — "electricity price residential", "coal generation industrial sector" — reaches the route carrying that data even when no single entry reads like the whole phrase. STEO series names are indexed so queries like "ethanol net imports" or "crude oil production forecast" also resolve, and so are facet values, so a fuel type or sector term like "wind" or "anthracite coal" resolves to the route that exposes it, with filter_hint carrying the filter to pass on. Results include isLeaf so you know whether to browse further or query directly. Results with score > 0.72 are weak matches — try a more specific query or use eia_browse_routes to explore the taxonomy. The first call after server start waits 24-30s while the index warms, and at most 45s; every later call returns in milliseconds. Check indexComplete before reading anything into a short or empty result set.
