+    Search for posts using the BlueSky API.
+
+    Args:
+        params (dict): The query parameters for the API request.
+            - query (str, required): The search term for the BlueSky posts.
+            - sort (str, optional): The sorting criteria for results. 
+               Options include "top" for top posts or "latest" for the latest posts.
+            - since (str, optional): The start date for posts (ISO 8601 format).
+            - until (str, optional): The end date for posts (ISO 8601 format).
+            - mentions (str, optional): Mentions to filter posts by. 
+            - Handles will be resolved to DIDs using the provided token.
+            - author (str, optional): The author of the posts (handle or DID).
+            - lang (str, optional): The language of the posts.
+            - domain (str, optional): A domain URL included in the posts.
+            - url (str, optional): A specific URL included in the posts.
+            - tags (list, optional): Tags to filter posts by (each tag <= 640 characters).
+            - limit (int, optional): The maximum number of posts to retrieve in a single response. 
+                Defaults to 25.
+            - cursor (str, optional): Pagination token for continuing from a previous request.
+            - posts_limit (int, optional): The maximum number of posts to retrieve across all responses.
+                Defaults to 500. 
+
+    Returns:
+        list: A list of posts matching the search criteria.
+
+    Notes:
+        - Progress is displayed using a progress bar indicating the number of posts fetched.
+        - Handles pagination automatically until `posts_limit` is reached or no further results are available.
+        - Logs and returns partial results if an error occurs during fetching.
