Fixes #4415
The search issues and pull requests endpoint supports a
search_typequery parameter (semanticorhybrid, defaulting to lexical), and returns the type that actually ran in the response body. Neither is currently exposed, soSearch.Issuescan only do lexical search, and callers can't tell when the API has fallen back to lexical for an ineligible query.Adds
SearchTypetoSearchOptions(mirroringAdvancedSearch) and toIssuesSearchResult.I'm updating the GitHub MCP server's
search_issuestool to support semantic search, and we'd like to use these rather than wrapping the HTTP transport to rewrite the query string and re-parse the response body.
