Description

These endpoints aren't part of core (https://github.com/radiantearth/stac-api-spec/tree/master/core) but instead are part of the item-search conformance class (https://github.com/radiantearth/stac-api-spec/tree/master/item-search).

This would be a breaking change, requiring code change to existing backends.

Research direction

Start by reading the linked STAC API core and item-search conformance specifications, then locate where POST /search and GET /search are registered in stac-fastapi. Check the affected backend behavior and existing route checks before making the change. Done means both endpoints are removed from core while item-search conformance remains correctly separated, with the breaking impact understood.
