search search a dummy

Options (open):

-i, --id dummy id
-f, --file path to dummy file
-d, --dir path to dummy directory (default: ./dummies)
-v, --verbose boolean flag

Options (save):

-n, --name dummy name
-a, --age dummy age
-t, --tag dummy tag, can be multiple (a/b/c/d)
-f, --file path to dummy file
-d, --dir path to dummy directory (default: ./dummies)
-o, --overwrite boolean flag
-v, --verbose boolean flag

Options (search):

-n, --name dummy name
-a, --age dummy age
-t, --tag dummy tag, can be multiple (a/b/c/d)

```

Running on the current directory with tree:

```sh
|- dir-one/
| |- 042.dummy-with-id-042.json
|- dir-two/
|- dummies/
| |- 109.dummy-with-id-109.json
| |- 110.dummy-with-id-110.json
| |- 111.dummy-with-id-111.json
|- file-one.txt
|- file-two.txt
```

## Features Description

**File Path completion**:
