What problem does the feature request solve?
When using R2MM, I find myself frequently setting the same search filters multiple times in a row as I go back and forth between the downloads page, config page, launching games, and back to download more. This feature would be a reduction in friction between these pages, and be a small quality-of-life change while using the application.
Example mock-up (optional)
Not provided; I'm pretty terrible with UI and the best I could do might be worse than nothing at all.
Additional information (optional)
For categories the user doesn't want to see often, or only wants certain things from, the user may set particular filters that they leave in place through multiple application launches. An example of this would be excluding the Modpacks tag for the Risk of Rain 2 community from searches over multiple launches of R2MM. I think this would be a more important feature, and having a separate search field for a "Category blacklist" rather than saving the entire search could prevent incidences of users setting filters and forgetting to un-set them while wondering where all of the mods they're looking for have gone. I would be more than happy with this type of limited implementation.
This could also resolve the friction between some mod developers and mod manager users, who wish to see AI-generated mods hidden by default. With the "Category blacklist" implementation, users could specifically opt-in to not see AI-generated mods, and easily undo that (if, for instance, they wanted to use a particular AI-generated mod) by removing the AI-generated category from their category blacklist.
