feat(search): added operations to search modal in main app, updated retrieval in docs to use RRF

[waleedlatif1]

Summary

• added operations to search modal in main app
  • when the selected option maps to an operation for a tool, then it adds that block to the canvas with that operation pre-selected
• updated retrieval in docs to use RRF, fixed some broken links because of it appending index.ts after the base URL

Greptile Summary

This PR enhances the search modal with operation-level discovery and improves documentation search using Reciprocal Rank Fusion (RRF).

Main app search enhancements:

• Added tool operations to search modal, enabling users to search for specific operations like "Slack: Send Message" or "Gmail: Read Email"
• Implemented alias matching system with synonym support (e.g., "post" matches "send", "fetch" matches "get")
• When selecting a tool operation from search, the block is added to canvas with that operation pre-selected

Documentation search improvements:

• Replaced simple result interleaving with RRF algorithm for better hybrid search ranking
• Added title boost scoring to prioritize exact filename matches
• Improved locale filtering and breadcrumb formatting (filters out index and locale prefixes)
• Fixed URL generation to handle index.mdx files correctly (e.g., triggers/index.mdx → /triggers not /triggers/index)

All changes follow established patterns and integrate cleanly with existing architecture.

Confidence Score: 5/5

• This PR is safe to merge with minimal risk
• Well-structured implementation with proper error handling, follows project patterns, and includes thorough documentation. The changes are additive and don't modify critical existing logic.
• No files require special attention
