Search Suggestion URL for User Added Search Engines

I'm trying to add IMDB's search as a user added search engine in Firefox and am struggling to find a URL I can use to fill search suggestions. By monitoring the xhr traffic it looks like it is using https://v3.sg.media-imdb.com/suggestion/x/**%s**.json?includeVideos=1 to get search results (where %s is the search query) but it doesn't seem like it's working from my browser's search bar. If anyone can figure this one out I'd appreciate it. It also got me wondering if anyone has made a record of common site search engines and suggestion URLs? That seems like something that could exist.

I just started messing with Zen and I am immediately in love. It is the first browser I've seen that nails the "sleek" aesthetic without compromising on functionality. As I am getting myself set up in Zen though, I find two things missing and wanted to see if there was a solution:

First: I'm getting my bearings with how to use containers and I find the setting "Switch to workspace where container is set as default when opening container tabs." This is great but it makes me think there should also be a way to open specific URLs using a particular container. For instance, I set up a container to use for anything that requires a google login so that I can reduce tracking elsewhere. I would like to automatically open all YouTube links using that container. In default FireFox there is the FireFox Multi-Account Containers extension which seems to be required to use containers at all but it has the URL filtering feature built in (screenshot below). Is this possible in Zen? If not, will installing the extension break Zen's container behaviors?

Second: I am coming from Vivaldi and a feature I really like there (and in most chromium browsers) is the ability to install any page as a progressive web app. This feels like it might go against the ethos of Zen's design but it's a feature I use a fair bit. If Zen can't do it by default, are there extensions that might help? If not, I'll probably keep doing that with Vivaldi while using Zen for general web browsing.

System Details:
- Linux Mint 22.3 with Cinnamon 6.6.7 Desktop
- Zen Browser 1.19.11b

So I've been getting into LibreOffice recently and there is only one thing that still bugs me about it. The "styles" drop-down, if that's what it should be called, rearranges itself every time I apply a style to something. In this first screenshot the style list (highlighted in red) is nicely organized into a reasonable hierarchy:

After applying just a few styles to the document, the list of styles now looks like this:

A screenshot showing the list of styles (boxed in red), and how they have changed order, after several styles have been applied.

The styles are now in a arbitrary order. After using the headings they seem to move to the bottom of the list, meanwhile, the block quotation style only moved down one position. It seems very arbitrary and is preventing me building any kind of muscle memory for using the styles. So, the question is: Can the re-ordering be disabled so that the style list is the same each time it is opened? If not, are there extensions which might help or some other setting I might want to use instead?
