## Title

    [Mem0 v3] m.search(query, user_id=...) raises "Top-level entity parameters {...} are not supported in search(). Use filters={'user_id': '...'} instead."

## Body

    Cause (Documented platform behavior): v3 aligned OSS with the Platform API: entity IDs go top-level for add()/delete_all() but inside filters for search()/get_all().
    
    Fix status: documented_behavior
    
    Other error fragments:
    - filters must contain at least one of: user_id, agent_id, run_id.
    
    Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor):
    - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mem0ai/mem0/94c3fe9f238f3dbf29c9ce98643bd71eb13077cd/mem0/memory/main.py (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): _reject_top_level_entity_params raises ValueError; search/get_all require an entity ID in filters.
    - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mem0ai/mem0/94c3fe9f238f3dbf29c9ce98643bd71eb13077cd/docs/migration/oss-v2-to-v3.mdx (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): Migration guide lists the move of entity IDs into filters as a breaking change that raises ValueError.
    
    Search phrasings: mem0 Top-level entity parameters are not supported in search; mem0 v3 search user_id filters; mem0 filters must contain at least one of user_id agent_id run_id
    
    Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): public_source.
