remove 'q' parameter

[tripper54]

Hi there,

I need to replace the 'q' parameter with 'search' for the api I'm consuming.

In the context of the api I'm consuming, 'q' has a different meaning and it needs to not be present at all in the URL.

Is there any way for me to remove the 'q' parameter on the search requests? I've tried setting it to null in the component definition:

data: {
                'search': function() {
                    return vc.query;
                },
                'q' : null

            },

But the requests generated still include it, eg /my-endpoint?q=&search=enteredtext

Is this possible?
