Find Nodes by Combined Criteria

Find nodes matching multiple criteria simultaneously. Combines text search, node type filtering, page filtering, tag matching, and spatial region queries with AND logic.

`--page N`	Filter by page number (1-based)
`--tag`	Filter by tag name
`--region x1,y1,x2,y2`	Spatial bounding box filter
`--max N`	Maximum number of results	0 (unlimited)

Examples

Combined Filters

kdx document find doc.kddb --contains "total" --type line --page 3

{"nodeId":142,"type":"line","content":"Total Revenue: $1,234,567","page":3,"matchStart":0,"matchEnd":5}

Spatial Region Search

kdx document find doc.kddb --region 0,0,300,100 --page 1
