Research direction

Reproduce the issue at https://searx.bar/search, or another Searx instance, using Vimium's default patterns and the [[ and ]] shortcuts. Inspect how the next-result-page button is matched on Searx pages; done means both shortcuts navigate between result pages instead of doing nothing.
