-- This function searches for a node given the conditions specified in the
-- query object, starting from the given start_pos and up to a certain, specified
-- range.
-- Query object:
-- search_type: determines the direction to search nodes.
-- Valid values are: orthogonal, cross, cube
-- - orthogonal search means only nodes which are parallel to the search node's faces
-- will be considered. This limits the search to only 6 nodes.
-- - cross search will look at the same nodes as orthogonal, plus will also
-- check nodes diagonal to the node four horizontal nodes. This search looks at 14 nodes
-- - cube search means to look every node surrounding the node, including all diagonals.
-- This search looks at 26 nodes.
-- search_nodes: array of nodes to search for
-- surrounding_nodes: object specifying which neighbor nodes are to be expected and
-- at which locations. Valid keys are:
-- - North (+Z dir)
-- - East (+x dir)
-- - South (-Z dir)
-- - West (-X dir)
-- - Top (+Y dir)
-- - Bottom (-Y dir)
-- Example: ["bottom"] = {nodes={"default:dirt"}, criteria="all"}
-- Each object will contain nodes, and criteria for acceptance.
-- Criteria values are:
-- - any: true as long as one of the nodes on this side is one of the specified
-- in "nodes"
-- - all: true when the set of neighboring nodes on this side contain one or many of
-- the specified "nodes"
-- - all-exact: true when the set of neighboring nodes on this side contain all nodes
-- specified in "nodes"
-- - shape: true when the set of neighboring nodes on this side contains nodes in
-- the exact given shape. If so, nodes will not be an array, but a 2d array
-- of three rows and three columns, with the specific shape. Notice that
-- the nodes on the side can vary depending on the search type (orthogonal,
-- cross, cube)
