Misspelled "search_engines" argument runs workflow without search

[hendrikweisser]

Description of the bug

Not a huge problem, but still worth fixing in my opinion: If an invalid value is passed to the "search_engines" parameter (e.g. "mgsf" instead of "msgf"), the workflow will run and "complete successfully", but no searches or subsequent steps will be performed.
Aborting with an informative error message (e.g. "Error: invalid value for parameter 'search_engines': mgsf") would be more useful in such a case.
It may be worth checking that all parameters that require specific values are validated to avoid unexpected results.
