host:3000/?q=%s syntax doesn't appear to work

[rick-github]

Describe the bug The Using as a search engine entry indicates that browsers can be configured to use perplexica as a search engine. However, while using this feature, perplexica opens but never returns a result. Typing the same search query into the perplexica text entry area does return a result.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. open a browser tab
2. type 'localhost:3000/?q=stuff' in to the address bar and press enter
3. wait forever

Expected behavior Expected result is that an answer page is generated. Instead, perplexica returns no results.

Screenshots typing "stuff" in to the perplexica text box:
