gitlab issue search prevents from running multiple searches in multiple tabs

Original report from Henry on the mailing list:

  1. Start searching some issues using the UI. Say search for "initial" in https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/applications/tor-browser/-/issues
  2. Then in another tab enter the url: https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/applications/tor-browser/-/issues?search=new
  3. This will redirect to: https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/applications/tor-browser/-/issues?search=initial

Similarly:

  1. Start searching some issues using the UI. Say search for "initial" in https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/applications/tor-browser/-/issues
  2. Edit the URL "search" query in place and load the new URL.
  3. This will also redirect back to the old URL.

Similarly:

  1. Start searching some issues using the UI.
  2. In another tab search for something else in the UI.
  3. Return to the first tab and refresh the page.
  4. The refreshed page will use the search from the other tab.
