Add Category Dropdown/Filters to Search (Movies, TV, Collections, etc.)

Suggestions
1

Please consider adding a dropdown menu or filter tabs to the search bar, as shown in the image below.

This would allow users to filter search results by:

• All

• Movies

• TV Shows

• Collections

Reasoning:

  1. Clutter Reduction: Searching for large franchises (e.g., One Piece) currently mixes hundreds of episodes with movies. Filters would make finding specific content much faster.

  2. Server Consistency: Media servers like Emby and Plex already support categorical search; Infuse should mirror this capability.

  3. Library Logic: Since Infuse already manages libraries based on these categories (Movies vs. TV), the search function should align with this structure.

It seems that we only need to add movie and TV show parameters to the current search URL and include a dropdown selection box. This is a very simple change, but it would significantly improve the user experience. Hope @james considers adding this feature.
