Modernize samples and documentation for ITextSearch interface
Problem Statement
The existing GettingStartedWithTextSearch samples only demonstrate the legacy ITextSearch interface with clause-based filtering. With the introduction of generic ITextSearch interfaces, developers need clear examples showing both legacy patterns and modern LINQ-based patterns for migration guidance.
Technical Approach
This PR completes the Issue #10456 implementation by updating the GettingStartedWithTextSearch samples to demonstrate the new generic ITextSearch interface with LINQ filtering capabilities. The implementation focuses on developer education and smooth migration paths.

Validation Results
Build Verification
dotnet build --configuration Release --interactive
Test Results
Full Test Suite (with external dependencies):
Core Unit Tests (framework only):
dotnet test src\SemanticKernel.UnitTests\SemanticKernel.UnitTests.csproj --configuration Release
Test Failure Analysis
The 2,934 test failures are infrastructure/configuration issues, not code defects:
These failures are expected in development environments without external API configurations.
Code Quality
dotnet format SK-dotnet.slnx
- no changes required (already compliant)Files Modified
Breaking Changes
None. All existing samples continue to work unchanged with new content being additive only.
Multi-PR Context
This is PR 6 of 6 in the structured implementation approach for Issue #10456. This PR provides educational content and sample modernization to complete the comprehensive text search interface modernization, enabling developers to understand and adopt the new LINQ-based filtering patterns.
