Remove misleading similarity scores from MCP search results. Search output now shows ranked results without percentages, matching industry practice (Sourcegraph Cody, Cursor, GitHub Copilot). Also fixes dev_refs failing to find symbols due to SearchService defaulting scoreThreshold to 0.7 which silently filtered all RRF results.

## v0.12.1 — Cleaner Search Output + refs Fix
13+
14+
*April 1, 2026*

16+
**MCP search results now match industry best practices.**
17+
18+
- **Drop misleading scores:** search results no longer show RRF fusion percentages (always ~1-2%). Results are ranked by position, matching Sourcegraph Cody, Cursor, and GitHub Copilot
19+
- **Result preamble:** search output starts with `Found N results for "query" | showing top K`
20+
- **Fix dev_refs via MCP:** `SearchService` defaulted `scoreThreshold` to 0.7, silently filtering all results since RRF scores are ~0.01. Now defaults to 0
21+
- **Remove `scoreThreshold` from MCP tool schema:** agents can no longer pass a threshold that doesn't work with RRF scores. Core API retains it for CLI use
22+
- **Better empty results:** suggests `dev_map` when no results found
