High-level search / DeepSearch	`POST /video/{video_id}/search/v2/`	`POST /collection/{collection_id}/search/v2/`	`video.search(...)`, `collection.search(...)`
Semantic search	`POST /video/{video_id}/semantic-search/`	`POST /collection/{collection_id}/semantic-search/`	`semantic_search(...)`
Structured query	`POST /video/{video_id}/query/`	`POST /collection/{collection_id}/query/`	`query(...)`
