Closes#1228.
Search By mode (General/Author/Title/Series/Manual), content type and
the search query now live in the URL as a hash fragment, updated live as
you search, not just parsed once on load. A shared/bookmarked link like
`#search_by=manual&q=foundation` reopens in that exact mode with the
query filled in.
Following the direction from the issue thread:
- Hash fragment instead of query string, so it stays browser side only.
- Live updates via `history.replaceState`, no history spam per
keystroke.
- Default Search By persisted in a client side cookie as fallback when
there's no hash, no user accounts needed.
Tested manually against a local build (search-by switching, hash live
update, deep link reload, cookie fallback when there's no hash, and hash
overriding a stale cookie).
Adds support for `content_type=combined` in URL search parameters,
letting users force combined-mode searches via a bookmarkable link
rather than relying on the last-used preference from localStorage.
The override is applied only in Universal mode and only when combined
mode is actually available (universal enabled, `show_combined_selector`
on, neither content type blocked by policy). Otherwise, it's silently
ignored, consistent with how `content_type=ebook`/`audiobook` already
behave outside Universal.
Existing `content_type=ebook`/`audiobook` URLs now also force combined
mode off, so the URL is authoritative regardless of prior preference.
Also adds a per-user `FORCE_COMBINED_SEARCH` setting that locks combined
mode on whenever it's available.
URL `content_type=ebook`/`audiobook` overrides are also superseded by
force-combined for the same reason: the search bar wouldn't let users
switch back, so honoring the URL param would leave them in a state they
couldn't escape from.
- Updated mirror selection

configurations
- Set Universal search to default, added ability to disable direct
source
- Updated documentation
- Updated makefile
- Adds the functionality to search Hardcover lists, either public lists
or user's private lists
- Paste a list URL into the search box to view results
- Select a specific list from user's collection from advanced fields
dropdown
