(Whiteboard: [sng])

Since future experiments will simply enable/disable the ability to persist search via the Scotch Bonnet pref, the feature needs a minor refactor so that once the Scotch Bonnet pref is toggled, Persisted Search follows suit.

To simplify the logic, we can also remove the existing feature in Nimbus since we're unlikely to experiment with Persisted Search separate from Scotch Bonnet.

Lastly, we need to retain the ability for users to enable/disable the feature.

Is there a flag to disable 'Persisted Search'('Keep your original search visible' feature) without disabling search bonnet?

It is a security/privacy concern if one doesn't know the exact URL one is visiting.

(There is also a visible option in about:preferences#search)

In settings, under Default Search Engine section, the checkbox is 'Show search terms in the address bar on results pages'.
