Description
Right now, the `search_object` gets all the names from SIMBAD and searches the database for those *names*. I think the function should also use the coordinates from SIMBAD to find possible matches in the database.

Research direction
Start at the Python `search_object` entry point and trace how SIMBAD names are fetched and matched against the database. Determine how coordinate-based candidate matching should fit the existing name-search behavior, then add coverage showing that SIMBAD coordinates can find possible database matches.
