Backstage: [Search] Search input in side bar -> Search Page flow

[emmaindal]

We do have a search input field in the side bar which currently are rendered without no other functionality. With that said, the search page is currently only accessible if you navigate to the /search route manually.

Ideally we would like a user to be able to input a search query in the input field that exist in the side bar and get redirected to the search page while they are typing.

If we pass the search query to the search route as a query parameter, we could also use the query parameter to return to the current state of the search page. That would be useful if I click on a search result and then navigate back with the browser history to the search.
