Find

The search and discovery service. Find owns query records, findings (search results), and heads (classifications). It is distinct from the social discovery graph.

Owns:
- finding (a single search result)
- findings (a result set)
- finding head (a classification/category label for a finding)
- finding query (a search query record)
- find session

Allowed:
- find service
- finding
- finding head
- search results (UI prose only)

Forbidden:
- discovery service (discovery refers to the social graph traversal, not search results)
- search service (not its product name)
- results (too generic without "findings" qualifier in technical context)

Notes:
- Discovery is a social graph concept (traversal through circle memberships). Find is a search service. Do not conflate them.
- Findings are ranked by ai_score and have a source_url and source_domain.
- The find service is not currently surfaced in the world runtime.
