I want it to work when I add it with firefox's search engine shortcut
function but when i add it there it looks for
domain.name:port/search?q=My_Search instead of
domain.name/search?q=My_Search since the first one doesn't work. I can
set this function on public instances but I don't know how to set it
up by myself. You can modify it on brave for example but i want to
know where firefox fetchs this and how can i set it.

my Caddyfile looks like this

    domain.name {
            reverse_proxy localhost:port
    }

and my

Other than this there is no problem on my instance but maybe i'm doing
something wrong since I'm not using Invidious's built in reverse proxy
and maybe i use Cddy somehow wrong. When i delete the port section in
this URL (domain.name:port/search?q=My_Search) it works but i want to
know what adds it there.
