No, I just found out about https://decomp.dev/ and objdiff and https://decomp.me and all the other tools. I've been decompiling stuff locally and found out someone else had a scratch that was 100% of the functions I was doing but for another game. So I wanted to have an easier way in objdiff to see if a function has already been decompiled for another game. I thought a good way to do this is to have objdiff have a direct link to search for that function. So this PR it to add a direct link since that isn't possible currently. Currently in objdiff there is a way to create a new scratch on decomp.me but no easy way to see if there are existing scratchs for the function. A full search page would be cool. |

I agree with @mkst here. I like the idea of this PR - linkable search results. But the current search dropdown isn't what should be linked to. We should first add the search page and then allow linking to that. |

Now search query appears in url so queries can be bookmarked.
