Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/Mintplex-Labs/anything-llm/issues/5722

SearXNG searches seem to be double encoding the query.

Example query:

Colossus and the Crab ending D.F. Jones book 3 plot summary

gets sent as:

/search?q=Colossus%2520and%2520the%2520Crab%2520ending%2520D.F.%2520Jones%2520book%25203%2520plot%2520summary&format=json

So SearXNG receives Colossus%20and%20... as the query instead of normal text.

Looks like this line is the cause:

searchURL.searchParams.append("q", encodeURIComponent(query));

URLSearchParams already handles encoding, so passing query directly fixes it:

searchURL.searchParams.append("q", query);

I monkeypatched this locally and it resolves the issue, but I’d rather not carry that patch in my deployment.
