# Changelog - Search Implementation Fixes

## [2.0.0] - 2025-10-04

### 🎯 Major Changes

#### Added
- **SearchOrchestratorService** - Unified search pipeline with complete operator support
- **SearchHighlighterService** - Robust highlighting with MatchRange support and XSS protection
- **SearchPreferencesService** - Persistent search preferences per context (localStorage)
- **Search Panel Toggles** - Collapse results, Show more context, Explain search terms
- **MatchRange Interface** - Precise highlighting with start/end/line/context
- **Complete Test Suite** - 27+ unit tests, 20+ e2e tests

#### Fixed
- **Field Operators** - `file:`, `path:`, `tag:`, `content:` now actually filter results
- **Scope Operators** - `line:`, `block:`, `section:` now work correctly
- **Task Operators** - `task:`, `task-todo:`, `task-done:` now filter tasks properly
- **Property Search** - `[property]` and `[property:value]` now match front-matter
- **Boolean Logic** - AND, OR, NOT operators now combine correctly
- **Case Sensitivity** - `match-case:` and `ignore-case:` now respected
- **Highlighting** - Now uses precise ranges instead of basic text matching
- **Search Synchronization** - Header and sidebar search now use same pipeline

#### Changed
- **SearchEvaluatorService** - Converted to legacy wrapper (delegates to orchestrator)
- **search-panel.component** - Added 3 toggles with preference persistence
- **search-results.component** - Added highlighting service integration
- **Documentation** - Updated all docs with new services and features

#### Deprecated
- **SearchEvaluatorService.search()** - Use `SearchOrchestratorService.execute()` instead

### Deprecations
- `SearchEvaluatorService` is now deprecated but still functional
- Recommended to migrate to `SearchOrchestratorService` for new code

### New Features Available
```typescript
// New orchestrator with all features
const results = orchestrator.execute(query, {
  caseSensitive: false,
  contextLines: 5,
  maxResults: 100
});

// New highlighter with XSS protection
const html = highlighter.highlightWithRanges(text, ranges);

// New preferences with persistence
preferences.updatePreferences('vault', {
  collapseResults: true,
  showMoreContext: true
});
```
