Supports both general search and optional full-text-index filtering: set require_has_fulltext=true and/or pass fulltext_terms to add OpenAlex filters (has_fulltext:true and fulltext.search:<term>). Important: has_fulltext/fulltext.search only match works where OpenAlex has indexed full text; this can miss papers whose full text is available elsewhere (e.g., PMC) but not indexed by OpenAlex. Use this to discover Work IDs (W...) and DOIs, then follow up with openalex_get_work/openalex_get_work_by_doi to retrieve OA links and (sometimes) content_urls.
