Implement Advanced Search System

🚀 Advanced Search System Refinement & Type Safety

Description

This PR addresses several critical technical and logical gaps in the new Advanced Search Interface. It focuses on resolving complex TypeScript assignability errors, stabilizing React hooks with functional updates, and ensuring consistent behavior between the UI and backend utilities.

🛠️ Core Changes

1. TypeScript & Type Safety Improvements

• JSON Parsing: Added explicit type assertions (as SearchAnalytics[]) for localStorage data to resolve unknown[] vs string[] assignability issues.
• Hook Stability: Refactored useAdvancedSearch to use functional state updates (prev => ...), removing the need for history and query in the dependency arrays of search callbacks.
• Consolidated UI Types: Harmonized the highlightMatch utility to always return a string[], preventing runtime errors in components calling .map().

2. Dependency Resolution

• Resolved ts(2307) and ts(7016) module errors by reconciling all Tiptap Editor extensions and Lucide icons through a clean npm install.

3. Search Logic & UX Refinement

• Expanded Validation: Updated performSearch to trigger whenever any filter is applied (Difficulty, Type, or Topic), not just on text or topic changes.
• Analytics Accuracy: Synchronized the resultsCount analytics payload to dynamically reflect real search mock data length instead of hardcoded values.
• State Synchronization: Implemented a dedicated useEffect for localStorage persistence to keep the search history logic decoupled from state updates.

🧪 Quality Assurance

• Passed npm run type-check (0 errors across searchUtils.ts, useAdvancedSearch.tsx, and associated UI components).
• Verified IntelligentAutoComplete correctly renders recent searches and trending tags.
• Confirmed localStorage sync persists search results between sessions.

Closes #83
