Description
Some websites search functionality uses POST instead of GET requests, i.e. a form is submitted after which the results page is shown.
Is it possible to support custom search on such websites? Usually in the form there is one input field for the query, the rest of the fields only do more filtration on the results. So %s can be used to replace that field in the post request sent.
Such forms are common in websites having 'Advanced search options', but some websites support search using only such forms, so current custom search can't be used for those websites.

Research direction
No file or test is named in the issue. Start by locating the custom-search handling used by the vomnibox and determine how a configured search could submit POST forms with %s replacing the query field; done means custom searches using POST-only forms return their results while preserving other form fields.
