Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/benbusby/whoogle-search/issues/90

Describe the bug
Sometimes The switch will be garbled when searching for non-English

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

configuration language:chinese(Simplified)
input such as "时间" -> there will be results
Turn the page or click another tab -> The input box will become：
gAAAAABe6tLZJ_92Vc20a81fpWxCFjCSocJlYrh7jgTd32Lsi1BRV5C7_o1EmelIMnE5uxPRxcDutm3_RcRyHvHQVEyG_ykYMA==

And prompt me：
“找不到和您查询的“gAAAAABe6tNvojFZyx_oJql_hYUkEYeUzNjzQRmp95jNTrFAd4KmiGdLAv-OjqM4UVKoaHfdlaX-JGBxNVppnhLseFp5rLyVGg==”相符的内容或信息。”

Switching back will not restore，this look up base64，maybe there is a problem with the conversion？

@benbusby commented on GitHub (Sep 4, 2020):

Sorry for the late reply, I'm just now getting around to looking into this issue.

It's actually an issue for all languages, not just non-English languages. It looks like the fernet key regeneration after each query can sometimes be triggered prematurely, and so the query isn't able to be decrypted when navigating back from a result or navigating through pages in the results view.

I'll come back to this when I figure out a better solution.
