Hello,

I have tested your instance on my phone, and it works perfectly you have just to set https://www.whoogle.click/search?q=%s
instead of https://whoogle.click/search?q=%s (note the added www).
It seems that https://whoogle.click is redirecting to https://www.whoogle.click/ without the params.

For startpage it's because you didn't change your default engine to whoogle, or that your https://whoogle.click redirection was set to startpage.
