Is there an existing issue for this?

I have searched the existing open and closed issues

No problem.

Describe the solution you'd like

Currently when I search in Prowlarr, it goes to the search tab and the URL is http://192.168.1.200:9696/search as per normal.
What I'm requesting is that the search somehow includes the search terms in a way that we can utilize browser search shortcuts.

For example, in Brave, I have a shortcut to search nyaa where the search string is the URL (%s replacing my actual search term) so when I type nya: gundam wing it will search nyaa for Gundam Wing.

I'd like us to be able to use our browser shortcuts in a way where I can create one to be able to type pr: gundam wing and it searches for gundam wing using Prowlarr.

I hope this makes sense.

If there were a way to incorporate categories into that, that'd be amazing.

In an ideal world, this is something like what it'd look like:
In the URL bar, I type my shortcut of pr: gundam wing and it searches via Prowlarr with a URL like https://prowlarr/?adb.search=gundam+wing&do.search=1

Describe alternatives you've considered

None.

Anything else?

Thank you for considering!!!
