freehire-search: document the OR and title: operators in -q (#674)

* freehire-search: document the OR and title: operators in -q

freehire's search now parses two operators in q: uppercase OR between
up to five alternatives (a union, filtered and paged as one result),
and a leading title: that restricts an alternative to the job title.
The CLI already passes -q through unchanged, so both work today; this
tells the agent they exist, in SKILL.md, --help, the CLI README and
url-reference.md.

* changelog: place the #674 entry under [Unreleased]

+**Query operators.** `-q` understands two operators; the CLI passes the text through
+unchanged and the API parses it:
+
+- `OR` between alternatives returns jobs matching **any** of them, e.g.
+  `-q "golang OR rust"`. Uppercase only: a lowercase `or` is an ordinary search
+  word. Plain space-separated words are **not** a union (`-q "golang rust"` returns
+  fewer jobs than `-q golang` alone), so use `OR` for synonyms and alternative stacks
+  instead of running one search per keyword. At most 5 alternatives; a 6th is
+  rejected with an error. An `OR` inside double quotes is literal text.
+- A leading `title:` restricts that alternative to the job **title**, e.g.
+  `-q "title:staff engineer"` skips postings that merely mention the words in their
+  description. It applies per alternative, so repeat it on each one:
+  `-q "title:staff engineer OR title:principal engineer"`. It only counts at the start
+  of an alternative; `title:` in the middle is searched as text. Quotes work inside it:
+  `-q 'title:"staff engineer"'` matches the phrase.
+
+Facet flags, `--jobage`, `--page` and `--limit` apply to the combined result: every
+alternative is filtered the same way, and a job matching several alternatives
+appears once.
+
 **Search results already carry the full description.** This skill queries freehire's
 agent search endpoint, which replaces the index's truncated preview with each
 posting's complete text, so a search of 20 roles is 1 request rather than 1 + 20.
