Search tracked social media profiles by handle or name, filtered by platform. Returns profile metadata, follower counts and average performance stats. Use it to resolve a handle to a profile id before fetching stats or posts, or to discover creators in the database. Results may include deactivated profiles (is_active=false), e.g. an account that was renamed or went private, retained with frozen stats; filter on is_active if you only want live accounts. Note a creator who changed handles can appear as two rows (old deactivated + new active).
