…ification Add a new section to Pin a Search covering the banner that suggests running a slow log search in the background, the resulting pinned search and confirmation message, and the completion email notification, with screenshots. Fix heading levels (H4 to H2) across the page, and add a Service release note for the feature. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Small PR, mostly clean. Three inline notes on pin-a-search.md.
The H4 to H2 change is correct. Every other doc in search-page/ uses ## for top-level sections, so this page was the odd one out.
DOCS-78 (#7068) is also reworking this area, so whoever rebases it will need to pull in this new section.
(These points overlap my earlier top-level comment; treat this review as the canonical version.)

This runs ~180 characters across three clauses, so it gets cut off in search results. Something shorter, like: "Pin a search so it runs in the background independent of the browser session, or let Sumo Logic prompt you automatically and email you when it completes."

| If a log search's elapsed time exceeds about one minute, a banner appears above the search results with the message "This search is taking longer than expected" and a **Run in Background** link.<br/><img src={useBaseUrl('img/search/get-started-search/search-page/run-search-in-background-banner.png')} alt="Banner suggesting you run a slow search in the background" style={{border: '1px solid gray'}} width="800" /> | ||

| Click **Run in Background** to pin the search, the same as [pinning a search manually](#pin-andunpin-a-search). A message confirms where you can find the search later.<br/><img src={useBaseUrl('img/search/get-started-search/search-page/background-search-pinned-message.png')} alt="Message confirming your background search is available as a pinned search" style={{border: '1px solid gray'}} width="800" /> |

#pin-andunpin-a-search is missing a hyphen. The heading above generates #pin-and-unpin-a-search, so this link lands nowhere.

| Once pinned, the search appears in your **Pinned searches** list, and when it completes, you receive an email notification with a link to the results, so you don't need to keep the **Search** page open while you wait. | ||

| **Limitations:** |

The limitations list higher up the page uses a plain Limitations: with no bold. Match that here.
