| `document_search` | read | Searches indexed text in active files this grant may read. Every word is required and searched literally; phrases go in double quotes, and `OR` in capitals between two words or phrases accepts either. `limit` caps candidates (default 20, maximum 100); inaccessible matches are omitted. Database or authorization failures return an error, not an empty list. |
