Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/benbusby/whoogle-search/issues/782

Describe the bug
Bug persists when searching certain words, with seemingly no pattern to it.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Search from local whoogle or in search bar [Issue happens regardless of browser]
500 error comes up

I've noticed some things cause issues but others do not? 'bitcoin' causes the issue but 'facebook' does not, for instance.

Deployment Method

Heroku (one-click deploy)
[ X] Docker
run executable
pip/pipx
Other: [describe setup]

Version of Whoogle Search

[ X] Latest build from [source] (i.e. GitHub, Docker Hub, pip, etc)
Version [version number]
Not sure

Desktop (please complete the following information):

OS: [Windows 10]
Browser [Chrome]

Additional context
