Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/benbusby/whoogle-search/issues/108

Describe the bug
When Whoogle automatically searches for another query, slightly different then what you intended to search for, the option to "search instead for ..." does not work.

dialog box I am referring to

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Search for any query that triggers this behavior, in my case, I searched for "hoogle mail" instead of "google mail", although the issue was not limited to this query
Click on "search instead for "
It does not change my search results as it should, although the URL does change. Clicking the link after "showing results for " does work

Deployment Method

Heroku (one-click deploy)
Docker
run executable
[] pip/pipx
Other: [describe setup]
Installed manually and run through a systemd service on Ubuntu Server 20.04 as an LXC container on Proxmox

Version of Whoogle Search

Latest build from [source] (i.e. GitHub, Docker Hub, pip, etc)
Version [version number]
Not sure
I installed it about 1 week ago from source

Desktop (please complete the following information):
Void Linux 64 bit, Musl LibC, Firefox 78.0 and IceCat 68.10.0esr browsers.

Thanks! Whoogle has been really great to use!
