Continue to implement search specific word frequencies from    • Python Count Word Frequencies in Text File...  

The new search_specific_words function:
Takes a file path and a list of words to search for
Reads the file and counts all words using the same logic as the original function
Returns a list of tuples with the searched words and their frequencies (including 0 for words not found)
The driver code now supports a --search flag followed by words to search for

Scenario Context: In engineering roles, you often build quick utilities for file processing without relying on external services. Here, the tool reads a file, counts words (ignoring case and punctuation), and outputs the top N frequent words, handling errors like missing files.

Simplify Transformation: Write a Python script to serach specific word frequencies in a text file, which is common in tasks like analyzing logs, processing reports, or basic data mining.

Prerequisites:
Python 3.x installed (check with python --version in your terminal).
A sample text file (create one quickly: sample.txt with the content of your choice).
