Merge branch 'main' into feat/rice-searching-with-sqlite

Resolved conflicts by:
- Combining imports from both branches in search.ts (added
hoistedNoteService and beccaService alongside existing ftsSearchService
and log imports)
- Integrating FTS5 search optimization from feature branch with flatText
attribute search logic from main in note_content_fulltext.ts
- Maintained backward compatibility by keeping fallback search
implementation for cases where FTS5 is not available or not suitable

 <p>These attributes play a crucial role in organizing, categorizing, and
   enhancing the functionality of notes.</p>
+<h2>Types of attributes</h2>
+<p>Conceptually there are two types of attributes (applying to both labels
+  and relations):</p>
+<ol>
+  <li><strong>System attributes</strong>
+    <br>As the name suggest, these attributes have a special meaning since they
+    are interpreted by Trilium. For example the <code>color</code> attribute
+    will change the color of the note as displayed in the&nbsp;<a class="reference-link"
+    href="#root/_help_oPVyFC7WL2Lp">Note Tree</a>&nbsp;and links, and <code>iconClass</code> will
+    change the icon of a note.</li>
+  <li><strong>User-defined attributes</strong>
+    <br>These are free-form labels or relations that can be used by the user.
+    They can be used purely for categorization purposes (especially if combined
+    with&nbsp;<a class="reference-link" href="#root/_help_eIg8jdvaoNNd">Search</a>),
+    or they can be given meaning through the use of&nbsp;<a class="reference-link"
+    href="#root/_help_CdNpE2pqjmI6">Scripting</a>.</li>
+</ol>
+<p>In practice, Trilium makes no direct distinction of whether an attribute
+  is a system one or a user-defined one. A label or relation is considered
+  a system attribute if it matches one of the built-in names (e.g. like the
+  aforementioned <code>iconClass</code>). Keep this in mind when creating

 <p>Attributes can be pretty useful since they allow for querying and script

+  <li>Is it just string, or is it a date?</li>
+  <li>Should we allow multiple values or note?</li>
+  <li>Should we <em>promote</em> the attribute or not?</li>
+</ul>
+<h2>Creating a new promoted attribute definition</h2>
+<p>To create a new promoted attribute:</p>
+<ol>
+  <li>Go to a note.</li>
+  <li>Go to <em>Owned Attributes</em> in the&nbsp;<a class="reference-link" href="#root/_help_BlN9DFI679QC">Ribbon</a>.</li>
+  <li>Press the + button.</li>
+  <li>Select either <em>Add new label definition</em> or <em>Add new relation definition</em>.</li>
+  <li>Select the name which will be name of the label or relation that will
+    be created when the promoted attribute is edited.</li>
+  <li>Ensure <em>Promoted</em> is checked in order to display it at the top of
+    notes.</li>
+  <li>Optionally, choose an <em>Alias</em> which will be displayed next to the
+    promoted attribute instead of the attribute name. Generally it's best to
+    choose a “user-friendly” name since it can contain spaces and other characters
+    which are not supported as attribute names.</li>
+  <li>Check <em>Inheritable</em> to apply it to this note and all its descendants.
+    To keep it only for the current note, un-check it.</li>
+  <li>Press “Save &amp; Close” to apply the changes.</li>
+</ol>
+<h2>How attribute definitions actually work</h2>
+<p>When a new promoted attribute definition is created, it creates a corresponding
+  label prefixed with either <code>label</code> or <code>relation</code>, depending
+  on the definition type:</p><pre><code class="language-text-x-trilium-auto">#label:myColor(inheritable)="promoted,alias=Color,multi,color"</code></pre>
+<p>The only purpose of the attribute definition is to set up a template.
+  If the attribute was marked as promoted, then it's also displayed to the
+  user for easy editing.</p>
+<table>
+  <thead>
+    <tr>
+      <th></th>
+      <th></th>
+    </tr>
+  </thead>
+  <tbody>
+    <tr>
+      <td>
+        <figure class="image">
+          <img style="aspect-ratio:495/157;" src="2_Promoted Attributes_image.png"
+          width="495" height="157">
+        </figure>
+      </td>
+      <td>Notice how the promoted attribute definition only creates a “Due date”
+        box above the text content.</td>
+    </tr>
+    <tr>
+      <td>
+        <figure class="image">

+          width="663" height="160">
+        </figure>
+      </td>
+      <td>Once a value is set by the user, a new label (or relation, depending on
+        the type) is created. The name of the attribute matches one set when creating
+        the promoted attribute.</td>
+    </tr>
+  </tbody>

 <p>So there's one attribute for value and one for definition. But notice
-  how definition attribute is <a href="#root/_help_bwZpz2ajCEwO">Inheritable</a>,
+  how an definition attribute can be made <a href="#root/_help_bwZpz2ajCEwO">Inheritable</a>,
-  meaning that it's also applied to all descendant note. So in a way, this
+  meaning that it's also applied to all descendant notes. In this case, the
-  definition is used for the whole subtree while "value" attributes are applied
+  definition used for the whole sub-tree while "value" attributes are for
-  only for this note.</p>
+  each not individually.</p>
+<h2>Using system attributes</h2>
+<p>It's possible to create promoted attributes out of system attributes,
+  to be able to easily alter them.</p>
+<p>Here are a few practical examples:</p>
+<ul>
+  <li><a class="reference-link" href="#root/_help_GTwFsgaA0lCt">Collections</a>&nbsp;already
+    make use of this practice, for example:
+    <ul>
+      <li>Calendars add “Start Date”, “End Date”, “Start Time” and “End Time” as
+        promoted attributes. These map to system attributes such as <code>startDate</code> which
+        are then interpreted by the calendar view.</li>
+      <li><a class="reference-link" href="#root/_help_zP3PMqaG71Ct">Presentation</a>&nbsp;adds
+        a “Background” promoted attribute for each of the slide to easily be able
+        to customize.</li>
+    </ul>
+  </li>
+  <li>The Trilium documentation (which is edited in Trilium) uses a promoted
+    attribute to be able to easily edit the <code>#shareAlias</code> (see&nbsp;
+    <a
+    class="reference-link" href="#root/_help_R9pX4DGra2Vt">Sharing</a>) in order to form clean URLs.</li>
+  <li>If you always edit a particular system attribute such as <code>#color</code>,
+    simply create a promoted attribute for it to make it easier.</li>
+</ul>
