fix: [BUG] Cursor has errors calling search tool

[github-actions]

This PR fixes issue #75

Changes Summary

Fixed issue #75 where Cursor was having errors calling the search_notes tool. The problem was that the search_notes tool was expecting a complex Pydantic object (SearchQuery) as input, which was confusing Cursor.

Changes:

1. Modified the search_notes tool to accept primitive types (strings, lists, etc.) as parameters instead of a complex Pydantic object
2. Updated the implementation to create a SearchQuery object internally from these primitive parameters
3. Updated all call sites in the codebase that were using the old function signature
4. Updated tests to use the new function signature

The fix makes it easier for LLMs like Cursor to make proper calls to the search_notes tool, which will resolve the reported error messages:

• "Parameter 'query' must be of type undefined, got object"
• "Parameter 'query' must be of type undefined, got string"
• "Invalid type for parameter 'query' in tool search_notes"

Original Issue

Bug Description

Cursor cannot figure out how to structure the parameters for that tool call. No matter what Cursor seems to try it gets the errors.

- When I pass an object: "Parameter 'query' must be of type undefined, got object"
- When I pass a string: "Parameter 'query' must be of type undefined, got string"



 and then it reports:  "Invalid type for parameter 'query' in tool search_notes"
Any chance you can give me some guidance with this?

Steps To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

try using search tool in Cursor.

Possible Solution

The tool args should probably be plain text and not json to make it easier to call.
