Description

Hi all,

I'm not sure if this has been asked before as I wasn't able to gather the necessary search-fu to find it:

When I run a search of a repo that is publicly available, it would be nice in the results if Hound could display/transpose the search terms used to allow easy copying/sharing of the link on Github (for example).

I guess Hound would need intelligence added to work with github and any other systems it currently works with.

Thanks,

Alex.

Research direction
Investigate the Hound codebase to understand how search results are rendered and if the URL currently reflects search parameters. Look at the frontend JavaScript files for routing and state management. Search for existing discussions on sharing or permalinks in the repository issues and pull requests. Determine if there is a need to modify backend routes or just frontend logic to embed search terms in the URL.
