Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/benbusby/whoogle-search/issues/464

Describe the bug
If I load http://localhost:5000 in any browser (chromium, firefox, firedragon, opera, doesn't matter) and then click on the "Configuration" option underneath the search bar, it expands into the different options I can configure. Regardless of whatever change I'm making (although I'm trying to save "Open Links in New Tab" as toggled ON, as well as "Replace Social Media Links") the moment I hit Apply, it redirects me to http://localhost:5000/config with this error:

Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error and was unable to complete your request. Either the server is overloaded or there is an error in the application.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Load Whoogle screen
Click on "Configuration" to expand conf options
Make any conf changes
Hit Apply
See error:

Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error and was unable to complete your request. Either the server is overloaded or there is an error in the application.

Deployment Method

Other: pacman -S whoogle

Version of Whoogle Search

Latest build from AUR repo
Version 0.6.0

Desktop (please complete the following information):

OS: Garuda Linux
Browser: Tested on Firefox, FireDragon, Chromium, Opera
Version: All latest versions as of this writing (Arch is a rolling distro, so get all updates)

Any ideas? Not even sure where the log files are to look into this further, or if there are CLI commands, or edit files where these settings are saved.....

So, I downgraded, then accidentally upgraded again, and suddenly everything's working. I guess false alarm. Sorry!
