Is there an existing issue for this?

I have searched the existing open and closed issues

AnimeBytes (AB) has a category for movies. If I search for a movie via Radarr, the query URL for AB doesn't contain the year:

From my quick checking, the problem is that AB doesn't support years in &searchstr (so Hero 2002 is passed as &searchstr=Hero - see the red text in the screenshot). I guess that's why it was omitted. However, it does support passing the year via &year=YYYY query param, like so: https://animebytes.tv/scrape.php?username=m3Lith&torrent_pass=***&type=anime&searchstr=Hero&year=2018&anime[movie]=1

Describe the solution you'd like

Add support for passing a year via &year query param for AnimeBytes indexer.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Anything else?
