Hooks WindowsCreateString inside SearchHost.exe / SearchApp.exe to
intercept the microsoft-edge:?url=... click handoff produced when a
web result is clicked in the Start menu search. Extracts the search
query from the embedded Bing URL, rebuilds it for the user's chosen
engine (Google, DuckDuckGo, Kagi, Brave, Ecosia, Yahoo, Startpage, or
a custom template), and drops the microsoft-edge: wrapper so the
result opens in the default browser instead of being forced into
Edge.
