Aggregation examples

Use aggregation examples when the answer needs rollups instead of individual rows. These examples use quoted keyword anchors in query so long-tail matches do not skew buckets; broaden the query only when the user asks for exploratory sizing, and pair broader queries with structured filters when possible. Set per_page to 0 when row results are not needed.
