change specific behaviour or autocorrect #447

Description

@blind-confused

oftentimes when I type a sentence into YouTube search that is longer length than the search field, the last word of the sentence gets autocorrected into something completely different, but I don't notice it, because it instantly sends you to search results, without showing you that it was corrected. So, if you don't check back in what you wrote, you might not notice that there was any mistake at all.

I'm not sure how this could be fixed. Disabling autocorrect for search fields is a questionable idea, because autocorrect could be very useful In search fields. Although many search engines tend to show a capitalized "Did you mean to type [...]?" sentence underneath the search field, if you make a mistake. But in my experience, it doesn't recognize every single mistake, it still skips some of them. So I'm not sure.

app version is v4.1.5 (latest), offline-lite version, aggressive autocorrect is on (weaker options don't do enough corrections for me).
