Thanks so much for getting back to me on this; it's very much appreciated!
In the light of your reply, I now realize that I should probably have made more of an effort to elaborate on what I was looking for and how I intended on using it.

I use Google Chrome and I thoroughly enjoy spending time personalizing my browser through the use of extensions. One of my favorites is an extension called "Custom Right-Click Menu" available at the Chrome store.
The purpose is very straight forwards and allows you to add a custom context menu point with your chosen links, menus, scripts etc.

With the recent release of Shadowlands many of my existing addons became incompatible, and searching for updated versions (...as I have A LOT of them...) tend to be time consuming. As such I thought I'd add an AddOn search entry to my context menu.
I decided to add Curseforge and Wowinterface for starters. Curseforge went smoothly but Wowinterface turned out to be less cooperative.

Curseforge example
Direct search URL: https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/search?search=test
Replace the test query with %s
The key seems to be in having the correct "search URL"; most often found by looking at the webadresse... Whether I'm dumb, or the dynamic site structure is masking it I don't know.

These are the (unsuccessful) adaptations I've tried so far..
https://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/ - %s
https://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/ - =%s
https://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/ - ?s=%s
https://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/ - ?search=%s
https://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/ - search?q=%s
https://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/ - search.php?search=%s

https://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/search.php - %s
https://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/search.php - =%s
https://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/search.php - ?s=%s
https://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/search.php - ?search=%s
https://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/search.php - search?q=%s
https://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/search.php - search.php?search=%s
I hope this helps to better illustrate my question. I am clueless beyond HTML and CSS so I often end up trying to use a "visual example" approach to explaining myself.
Any help would be very much appreciated!
