feat: quick global Google Assistant search

README.md

@@ -35,7 +35,8 @@ Along with a few other changes/improvements:
 - Send keyboard keys using `androidtv.adb_command` using the [Android Debug Bridge integration](https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/androidtv/) and the `adb_id` configuration option.
   - Create a key titled `keyboard` to enable this and click it to open a text prompt in which you can enter text to send to your Android TV.
   - Highly recommended that you also create keys for `delete` and `enter` so you can remove and send your input text.

+- Quick global search also using ADB.
+  - Create a key titled 'search'. It will function similarly to keyboard entry except that it will launch a global search on close. This can also be used to send commands and queries to Google Assistant.

+Similarly, you can use ADB to do quick global Google Assistant searches by creating a button named `search`, which will function in a similar manner but will search immediately after sending the text.
