When I search for something that doesn't exist, e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=zybjykht, some JavaScript code changes the displayed URL to add &searchToken=.... This is pretty inconvenient because it means I can't easily edit the URL to fix my search query.
In most cases this kind of fake redirect is useful, but here it's kind of irritating and just adds irrelevant information to the URL -- a passed in searchToken just gets ignored, so as far as I can tell this is just internal information.
