Returns all cases that have at least one document matching the search query. Note: this search uses the same index as the Document text search. Searching cases by text returns cases that have at least one document matching the query. Search is powered by PostgreSQL full-text search and runs across the following fields, in descending order of relevance weight:

Field	Weight
Case name	A (highest)
Document title	B
Case summary	C
Document text	D (lowest)

Queries are matched using PostgreSQL's SearchQuery, which supports natural language stemming (e.g. "running" matches "run"). Multi-word queries are treated as AND by default — all terms must appear somewhere across the searched fields.
