Add option to save the mobile advanced settings state

Current functionality

If you search anything on mobile, the advanced search settings is closed by default. See picture below

Proposed change

I use the advanced search settings quite a lot on both mobile and desktop. And I would like to have a setting like "Preserve advanced search settings state". So that I could have the advanced search settings always open, like in the picture below

Yes, I constantly filter my results to the past year and am quite annoyed it’s suddenly hidden by default.

We will introduce an option to keep search settings permanently expanded

As a person from a non-English speaking country, I switch between the "International" region and the my local region very often. Until a few days ago, I could do this in 2 clicks. Now the options are closed by default and it takes 3 clicks. I don't know if something happened on my side, but I can't find a way to make options be open by default on my mobile browser or using the Kagi mobile app.

I expected the "Options" to be opened by default when I search.

I'd also like the Options to be opened by default when I search on mobile for the reason listed, but also for the quick answer feature. When I search on mobile i mostly search up small lazy things, the quick answer always gets right.

I already made feature request about this: https://kagifeedback.org/d/5826-add-option-to-save-the-mobile-advanced-settings-state

I think Kagi wants to make the mobile experience as simple as possible to attract more general users, but they should have thought about the advanced users before making that change 😅
