Complex search queries are not supported

Problem/Motivation

When the query that goes into AI Search from Search API is created, there are parse modes that can intercept and transoform the query. This means for instance that the following searches are different:

Who is Michael Jackson
"Who is Michael Jackson"
Who+Is+Michael+Jackson

You can see how these are implemented here: https://git.drupalcode.org/project/search_api/-/blob/8.x-1.x/src/ParseMo...

This will produce the output that is seen there in parseInput method, which means that we can get back a complex array that looks like this instead of a string or array with just one string:

[#conjunction] = AND
[0] = Who
[1] = is
[2] = Michael
[3] = Jackson

At the moment we just pass the first in the array if its an array, which means that in the above case we search for "Who", which makes no sense.

Steps to reproduce

Try to search for "Who is Michael Jackson" and you will get very low scores.

Proposed resolution

Since boolean searches and other advanced methods matters less and you can actually just prompt it - find the exact match "Who is Michael Jackson" we could just take the array and remove the conjunction and pass it.
