Jev line-by-line search: put a whole document in state and query each line

One of my favorite Jev patterns is "line-by-line search", where you put an entire document in state, and ask a question for each line (or paragraph). This is super useful when you want to find the most relevant line for a query. Use nouls when you expect one dominate answer, use scores when you want to highlight lines by overall relevance. The former is good for answering a specific question while the latter is good for finding all relevant passages.
