Claude Code extracted this slice from the exploration branch and ran lint/typecheck/tests.

Proposed Changes

Typing words in the omnibox now shows live results from the site's pages and posts, with Searching… / No matches / Search unavailable states; clicking a result navigates the preview.
The zero state now shows real front-end permalinks (latest post + a page) instead of guessed paths.
Backed by a new authenticated site REST proxy in the main process: path-only GETs, rejects requests escaping /wp-json/ (the SSRF guard has a dedicated test).

Testing Instructions

Full app restart (main-process changes).
Open a running site's preview, type words in the address bar → live results appear; click one → preview navigates there.
Only published content appears (drafts don't).
Verify in light + dark.

Path search feels broken:

It works only when it matches fully
But, when I fill in the full path - I see the default state - all links that are available by default:

@nightnei I pushed some changes to address the search issues, can you take another look please?

@bcotrim thanks, I tested all possible edge cases and it works perfectly 👍
