Description

I recently built a simple search function for my own use: https://paste.fliegendewurst.eu/search#unrecognized

If you want I can clean it up a bit (e.g. making it optional) and create a PR. I would also understand if you would rather not have a search function, since it is a bit out of scope for a simple pastebin. (Though it is quite useful for my private pastebin.)

Research direction

Review the linked PoC and the repository's current paste-storage and request-handling entry points to determine the scope. First confirm whether maintainers want search in wastebin and whether it should be optional; done means an agreed, integrated search feature with its behavior and acceptance criteria documented.
