1) support marker=true in, just as it is supported when the URL is pasted into the browser address bar
I don't believe there is a mechanism that can be triggered to display the marker - I believe it is only checked/displayed when the page is loaded, but I will check.

Use case: loading WME + scripts takes too long, so I use WMEBR with a click, ctrl-C, ctrl-W, and paste
into the enhanced search window.
No, I won't support this. WMEBR's showpur/endshow is utilizing/relying on URO+'s implementation to display the PUR (URO+ is what adds and reads the showpur/endshow) and I do not like this implementation as it needlessly modifies the URL and adds extra parsing. WME Place Interface Enhancements as the "Automatically open PUR" option which works on normal WME URLs and can/should be used instead.

I had transitioned from URO+/ URcomments to URC-e, and would need to re-install URO+ in order to use WMEBR effectively for this purpose.
Or enable the aforementioned option in PIE and it will work.

Thank you.

Example... https://www.waze.com/en-US/editor/?env= ... ,518202004 the $s=1630928343& from the editor's PL is no longer stripped in Enhanced Search
ES doesn't even parse that part of the URL, sonit doesn't matter that it isn't stripped - ES won't mess with the layers except to turn on the segment or places layers if they aren't enabled and segments or places is found in the url

(Edit: when will be able to customize the highlight color? I know you said something like "when hell freezes over", but I think that leaves a lot of room for interpretation.)

Enhancement request: can you have it enable the places layer group when a PL with a venue ID is pasted/otherwise sent into the hole?

At any rate, mine isn't handling segment selections anymore either.

Thanks for making this happen, Justin!

Now, my obligatory Feature Request: can there be a history of pasted/searched items? Oftentimes, while studying something on the map, I'll want to jump back and forth between two (rarely, three) spots, but I don't necessarily need to have a more permanent bookmark. It would even be fine if the history disappeared with the tab.
