Creates a search job with a given search query and optional parameters, including exec_mode to specify the type of search:
Use exec_mode=normal to return a search job ID immediately (default). Poll for completion to find out when you can retrieve search results.
Use exec_mode=blocking to return the search job ID when the search has finished.
To run a oneshot search, which does not create a job but rather returns the search results, use Service.Jobs.oneshotSearch.
