refactor(search): migrate search API from streaming to synchronous with structured validation

- Replaced Server-Sent Events with React Query mutation for search requests
- Added Zod schema validation for structured output in search API
- Updated search component to handle JSON responses instead of streaming
- Improved error handling and type safety for search parameters
