Make the search form more clear to understand

.replace(/[^a-z\u00E0-\u00FC\s]/ig, '')

This regex replace is unnecessary for a default example template. I was confused why the search was not working and ending up in a HTTP authentication required page.

The form didn't look like it had a JS backing. One more suggestion is to remove the name attribute from the search form so that it is more clear. Why need a name if the form submission is actually handled by JS.

Ah, I think that's there to remove the zwnj characters. True, needn't be in the default search, but ideally, it shouldn't break anything because zwnj is used in so few languages out there anyway. Can you share the examples that broke?

It's a good practice (semantics) to have a name param for inputs, irrespective of whether they're handled by JS or not. Here, if I recall correctly, even if JS is disabled, the form submission should gracefully degrade to GET ?q=xxx and still work.
