Search URI is not pushed to the address bar

[karlcow]

Step to reproduce:

1. Go to http://webcompat.com/
2. Log in
3. Click see More
4. Type a search term. for example: "is:issue is:open google in:title"

Expected:

to have the URI in the address bar to be something along (Not necessary this parameter syntax, just an example)
https://webcompat.com/issues/search?is=issue&is=open&q=google&in=title

Current:

The address is https://webcompat.com/issues

Why it's important.

It's currently not possible for someone to share a specific search URI on the Web or by mail.

Possible issues

When someone is not logged in to webcompat.com, the search URI will not be working. We could handled that case through a redirect to github search.

I wonder if we could send a flash message like: "(Log in) to see search results. Or see the (search on GitHub)". Stuff in parens would be hyperlinks.

In the case of non-authentificated user we should send:

• 403 Forbidden - http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6750#section-3.1
• AND with the appropriate WWW-Authenticate: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6750#section-3 and http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7235#section-4.1
• AND the flash message saying what you are suggesting: "(Log in) to see search results. Or see the (search on GitHub)".

Sounds like a good plan.

Also need to include params like page, per_page, update closed=1, etc.
