Search the BBB businesses dataset

Searches the BBB (Better Business Bureau) businesses index (dataset id enum value `bbb-businesses`) — business profiles crawled from bbb.org's own search/category-browse pages: computed A+-F letter-grade rating, paid-accreditation status, category, contact info, business details, operating hours, and products/services. Complaints, full reviews, and the full "reasons for rating"/service-area detail are NOT embedded here; each record instead carries complaints_url/reviews_url/more_info_url pointing at the live bbb-business-complaints/bbb-business-reviews/bbb-business-more-info endpoints for on-demand lookup. rating enum: `A+`, `A`, `A-`, `B+`, `B`, `B-`, `C+`, `C`, `C-`, `D+`, `D`, `D-`, `F`. sort enum: `relevance`, `rating_desc`, `rating_asc`, `accredited_first`, `name_asc`, `years_in_business_desc`.
