john-okeefe b607cfc387 docs: complete unified search implementation plan with Phase 4 specifications
This commit finalizes the implementation plan with complete code
specifications for the remaining work needed to complete the unified
search and filter feature.

**Phase 4 Specifications Added:**

1. **Backend Handler (4.1):**
   - Complete SearchMediaItems handler rewrite with autocomplete detection
   - New handleFieldValuesSearch method for dropdown suggestions
   - Fixed QueryParam bugs (Echo doesn't support default values)
   - Autocomplete query routing: author=value, genre=value, etc.
   - Service layer integration for combined search + filters

2. **Frontend Templates (4.2-4.3):**
   - Search button + Enter key triggers (no blur/immediate filtering)
   - Pure HTML5 datalist approach (no Alpine.js reactive state)
   - All filter inputs with autocomplete support
   - Clear filters button for UX
   - Updated HTMX triggers from 'change' to 'keyup[key=="Enter"]'

3. **Frontend TypeScript (4.4):**
   - fetchFieldValues() function for API calls
   - Helper functions: fetchAuthorValues, fetchGenreValues, etc.
   - Native DOM manipulation for fastest performance (~1-2ms)
   - Fixed query param names to singular (author, genre, series, language)

**Implementation Status Section Added:**
- Clear tracking of completed (Phases 1-3), partial (Phase 4), and not started work
- Implementation order with time estimates (~3 hours remaining)
- Updated timeline: ~10 hours total, ~7 hours remaining

**Bug Fixes in Plan:**
- Fixed c.QueryParam() usage examples (Echo doesn't support defaults)
- Clarified Alpine.js vs native DOM approach conflict
- Removed conflicting reactive state from template specifications

**Documentation:**
- Complete code examples ready to copy/paste
- Performance analysis showing HTML5 datalist is fastest approach
- User flow documentation for autocomplete + search button UX
