Description

Is there any way to search for multiple terms, with a custom separator like , in Vomnibar?

For example, If I open the Vomnibar, and type: "Vimium, Vomnibar", then it will search for two terms (with the default search engine is Google) in two tabs: one tab will search for "Vimium" and one tab will search for "Vomnibar", instead of one tab search for "Vimium, Vomnibar"

Research direction

Start by locating the Vomnibar implementation and its search submission flow. Determine how a custom separator could be configured, then verify that input such as "Vimium, Vomnibar" opens one search tab per term while preserving the existing single-search behavior.
