## Documentation Standards

### Code Documentation
```typescript
/**
 * Searches conversations using semantic similarity.
 * 
 * @param query - Natural language search query
 * @param options - Search configuration options
 * @param options.limit - Maximum results to return (default: 10)
 * @param options.threshold - Minimum similarity score 0-1 (default: 0.7)
 * @param options.project - Filter by specific project name
 * @returns Promise resolving to array of search results
 * 
 * @example
 * // Basic search
 * const results = await search("React hooks")
 * 
 * @example
 * // Advanced search with options
 * const results = await search("authentication", {
 *   limit: 20,
 *   threshold: 0.8,
 *   project: "my-app"
 * })
 * 
 * @throws {Error} If Qdrant connection fails
 * @throws {ValidationError} If query is empty or invalid
 * 
 * @since 1.0.0
 * @see {@link https://docs.example.com/search}
 */
