Subject: [PATCH] Fix voice search for notes list

- Fix 'already started' error in speech recognition
- Add toggle behavior for voice button (start/stop)
- Improve transcript handling for single words
- Show interim results in real-time as user speaks
- Add detailed console logging for debugging
- Ensure search triggers on final results
- Search already covers both title and body fields
