Search the Platform for Bible verses.
Search for Bible verses by query, returning a paginated list of verse references. Verse results carry references and metadata only (e.g. JHN.3.16), never passage text; resolve verse text through the licensed-content endpoint. The bible_id determines the language searched, so this endpoint takes no language parameter. Use page_size and page_token to page through the full result set.
