Enhance UI with new Query Ranker feature and improve document search capabilities

- Introduced a new "Query Ranker" tab for searching and ranking document chunks with various retrieval methods: Similarity, MMR, BM25, and Hybrid.
- Implemented real-time document chunk ranking with intelligent confidence scoring and actual similarity scores.
- Updated the UI to a three-tab interface, integrating the Query Ranker alongside Document Converter and Chat.
- Enhanced README to document the new Query Ranker feature and its functionalities.
- Added comprehensive test suite for the Query Ranker implementation.

+3. **Enter your search query** in the search box
+4. **Choose your retrieval method**:
+   - **🎯 Similarity Search**: Semantic similarity with real scores

 #### 🔍 **Retrieval Strategy Guide:**
 - **For research papers**: Use MMR to get diverse perspectives
 - **For technical docs**: Use Hybrid for comprehensive coverage
 - **For specific facts**: Use Similarity for targeted results
 - **For broad topics**: Use Hybrid for balanced semantic + keyword matching
