Description
Perform search when we are already given the IVF cells to look at (for IVF-Flat and IVF-PQ). The cluster assignment and search parts can be separated and the user can customize which IVF centroids they want to use for each query vector.

Research direction
Start by locating the IVF-Flat and IVF-PQ search implementations and the code that performs cluster assignment. Determine how those paths can accept preselected IVF cells and expose per-query centroid selection. Done means both index variants support searching supplied cells while retaining their existing search behavior.
