Description
Steps to reproduce
The secondary search bar—located at the top-right corner within specific movie/show. inconsistently displays results from all installed extensions regardless of their selected/pinned status. while the Main Search Bar (on home page) correctly filters and orders results based on my selected pinned extensions and their specific priority.
For a more user friendly experience, this internal search should mirror the main search bar behavior, ensuring that results remain organized and relevant throughout the app.
Expected behavior
The secondary search bar should strictly mirror the logic of the Main Search Bar. It should only display results from Pinned Extensions and maintain the exact priority/order that the user has configured in the app settings.
Actual behavior
Currently, when using the search bar inside a movie/show's detail page, the app searches through all installed extensions regardless of whether they are pinned or not. It also ignores the specific priority order set by the user, resulting in a cluttered and unorganized list of results.

Research direction
Start by comparing the main search bar on the home page with the secondary search bar on movie and show detail pages. Trace how each search uses pinned extensions and their configured priority, then verify that the detail-page results include only pinned extensions in the same order.
