Subject: [PATCH] Fix search functionality for markdown bible data

- Update search engine to parse numbered list format (1. verse text)
- Fix chapter file path construction to use Chapter_XX.md format
- Add zero-padding for chapter numbers in API routes
- Skip empty lines and headers in markdown parsing
- Ensure compatibility with external bible data source structure
