Marking this a draft, as this solution feels a little clunky and would like to hear some feedback.

Normally, when nefarious performs a search, a category is included to limit the returned results to TV or MOVIE.
This PR adds a checkbox to the manual search which allows that category to be excluded.

The reason for this is that I was searching for some media, and neither automatic nor manual search could find the media, but performing a manual search in Jackett did, which was very confusing. On investigation, the particular media I was searching for had been miscategorized as a MOVIE on the trackers I had configured (can share details if necessary).

While I could obviously work around this by copying the manual Jackett results into Transmission, it's much nicer to remain in Nefarious as much as possible, especially for the save-location/renaming, and other less technically-inclined users of my deployment do not want to mess around with multiple different services like that. :)

Hey @giodonlyone, this is a good catch & idea. I too have experienced this issue and didn't investigate why nefarious didn't return expected results where manually searching in jackett did.

I think your solution makes sense, adding a UI element to control whether categories should be applied when manually searching jackett.
