Search: fix header UI + instant typeahead (5 highlighted matches) + ranking

- Header search restyled as one clean RTL pill (input + button flush).
- Google-style autocomplete: typing ≥2 chars fetches /search/suggest and
  shows up to 5 live matches (round-robin across shifts/jobs/applicants)
  with the query highlighted, plus a «همه نتایج» link. Debounced, closes on
  outside-click/Escape.
- Search results page now RANKS by relevance (term hits in role/title/
  facility/city/tags weighted ×3, description ×1) instead of date-only.
