WordPress.org Plugin Support Forum Search powered by Google not working

Description
Reproduction as of 2023-01-13:
- Go to the support forum of any plugin, e.g. Redirection.
- Look at the titles of the most recent threads on top.
- Search for any words in those titles.
Expected: Should yield a result obviously.
Actually: No result at all.
→ People are less likely "to search before the type" then.
→ Higher probability for duplicate content in the support forums.
→ Overally frustrating for all parties involved.
Fixing this hopefully is a small effort for a big gain.

- Component changed from General to WordPress.org Site
We really didn't need the video. The problem is obviously that the search parameter is not going through to the query. I suspect it's something to do with the new search page.
