Description

On some requests, results aren't retrieved and reused for future requests.
I was able to reproduce the problem on more than 1 node. (local proxy, personnal node, and seeks.fr)
Example query :
http://seeks.fr/search?q=Zenk%20Security
As a test, you can click on some result, then return to the results page, to see than the order is still the same.

I've narrowed down to a potential culprit: make sure you click on a non https result.

Seeks does not personalized on https URLs, on purpose. While this could be changed, and
an option added, this remains the current policy.

To assess whether this is a bug, can you check that the problem does only arise with https URLs please ?

I just checked wether or not results link to https pages, and that's not the case : those I tried clicking on where not crypted http pages, and the order of the page still remains the same.

the culprit seemed to be a bug with storage of queries, including the presence of capital characters.

This should be fixed for versions after commit 5a048115b55d15ba7c7a0c84fcdac10fe5f330ee

This commit is only applied to new branch 'api' as for now.

Testing and feedback are welcome.
