Search filters

Invidious supports the various search filters provided by YouTube.

Support for more user-friendly search is planned, see #179.

Search filters are currently implemented as key:value operators, similar to DuckDuckGo and other search engines. Operators can be added to the search query to filter results, for example: type:playlist sort:views music.

When using subscriptions:true or channel:UCxxx other filters are not applied.
