Problem details:
as it currently stands right now, mappers usually would include a hitsound difficulty in their mapset as it function as the source hitsound to be copied later, which making hitsounding process a lot more faster and easier.
but because of this, searching for any specific pending/wip osu!mania keymode in search can be frustrating, as often times mappers created hitsound difficulty with specific keymode which shows up in the search result.
Video or screenshot showing the problem:
these are only a fraction of the result.
-------------------------------------------------------------
i don't know about the solution itself, but i have something in my mind
Tl;dr
this very useful advanced search alias was already broken by mapper since it got debuted on April 2021.
these hitsound difficulty makes search result for osu!mania inaccurate.

some thoughts
perhaps, create a toggle 'Hitsound difficulty' on Song setup in the editor for mania mode, where these difficulty can still have certain Circle Size / Keycounts value being set, function as hitsound/normal difficulty as we know, and shows in beatmap listing page & modding page so people can still mod the difficulty.
but with the toggle on, these difficulty will be excluded from search result, specifically excluded from the "Key=value" alias in search query. i hope with this toggle, maps that shows up in search will be more accurate to the search query itself.
i don't know the consequence of adding this toggle aside of people can hide their map from search result?
but i think we can all agree, nobody really search for hitsound difficulty anyways since it usually going to be deleted afterwards.
adding a blacklist on search query is a bit too advanced and might won't solve this issue since everyone uses different difficulty name, though this might helps reducing inaccurate result from the past where the mapper won't update their map with the hitsound toggle on.
not to mention, this is has to be something that everyone should be agreed upon, else hitsound difficulty will continue to break osu!mania search result. some might even not see this as an issue, and searching map continues to be frustrating.. bleh
