yay -s does not work properly

[hax0rjax]

yay v12.1.0 - libalpm v13.0.2

Describe the bug

If I run yay -s (any package) I am able to search, but once I select a package it will fail to install. Example -

Reproduction Steps

1. Any shell (have tested with bash and fish) $ yay -s (any package name)
2. Select any package(s) in the searched listing
3. Get error

Expected behavior

I expect the install to run after selecting a package from the searched list

Here is another example (again, this only happens with "-s" and not "-S"

Hey @hax0rjax, yay -s gets translated to yay -Ys which is not a valid yay operation. Prefer yay xine-ui instead
