feat(YouTube): Hide trending search results

[0xrxL]

Feature description

• Search a void method with parameters: Collection, String, which contains the following resources references:
  R.string.see_more_proceeding_header
R.string.p13n_header
R.dimen.suggestion_category_divider_height

• Put a check at the method start, to verity if string parameter (the second) of the method is empty. If the check is True: go to return-void. Otherwise: continue.

Motivation

This feature prevents users from getting distracted by viewing trending results, which in some cases can also be of poor quality.

@LisoUseInAIKyrios Can you reproduce this? Could be a good new feature for A/B flagged accounts.

I don't see any trending search suggestions

I noticed that these search suggestions "You may like" appear at the bottom of the user search list and also if they have watched atleast one Shorts.

I get this issue too, currently I daily driving 20.07.32.
To reproduce, try using YouTube 20.xx vers, do some search e.g Beautifull cats , close / restart YouTube and tap search bar and see.

UPDATE: Google enabled a new literal flag (45353159L) starting from 20.07.xx, to deprecate the current way to show these suggestions.

However...the above patch steps are still valid. In fact, the new smali class is 1:1 copy of the previous one, with just few changes related to the "rounded edges" style.

@LisoUseInAIKyrios, maybe rename this issue?

Would love to see this added.
