Pull request overview
This PR adds a privacy-focused search feature that allows users to submit search queries via POST requests instead of GET requests, preventing search terms from being saved in browser history. Users can enable this feature through a new "Search privacy" preference in their settings.
Key Changes:
- Added a new
search_privacyboolean preference to user and config preferences - Modified the search form to use POST method when search privacy is enabled
- Updated the search page title to display "Search" instead of the query text when privacy mode is active
