Search by description
search_by_descriptionFind pets from wishes in the person's own words, in any language (“a calm small dog good with kids near Seattle”). Use it for wishes listings rarely state, like calm or good with kids: each pet's match says, per wish, stated, inferred (read from its text, with a %) or not_stated, and pets that do not say are left out and counted in not_stated unless include_unknown=true. The answer's understood.chips say what was searched; drop a wrong one with off=[chip id]; a chip noted approx or hint is not a fact about any pet. Found pets (found:true) are not adoptable. Prefer find_pets for structured values.
