Summary

The "Search with AI" option disappeared from the search method dropdown on the Community Cloud tab. A later merge kept an older version of CloudSearch.tsx, which removed the option and put back an onChange handler that only accepts term and codevault. The rest of the feature was unaffected: parseSearchMethod, the searchMethod=ai request parameter, and the REST mapping to s_method=ai.

Changes

• Restore the "Search with AI" option and pass the selected value through parseSearchMethod.
• Write any search method other than keyword to the by query parameter, so an AI search survives a page reload. Before this change only codevault was written.
• Add an end-to-end test that selects Search with AI, checks that the request sends searchMethod=ai and the URL holds by=ai, then reloads and checks that the method is kept.

Verification

• The new test fails before the fix (the option is missing) and passes after it.
• Playwright: code-snippets-community-featured, code-snippets-pro-pages and cloud-download-eligibility pass (44 tests).
• ESLint passes on the changed files. TypeScript reports no new errors.
• Not verified against the live cloud AI search endpoint. The test mocks the search response.
