Research direction

Investigate the current URL handling in NewPipe by examining AndroidManifest.xml for existing intent filters. Understand how the app processes external links and consider adding support for search URLs (e.g., 'newpipe://search?query=...'). Review the issue comments for any additional requirements or suggestions from maintainers.
