Hi,

A client pointed out that when they link from facebook to a category page, the search on the category page returns 0 results. This seems to be because of the parameter facebook attaches to the url (fbclid=key).

And it seems the search cannot return results if there is an unknown query parameter, for example like on the litium demo page with this made up parameter:

[https://demo-b2c.litium.com/women/tops/sportbras?dfsf=Sd](https://demo-b2c.litium.com/women/tops/sportbras?dfsf=Sd)

How would you recommend I remove the parameter while following some kind of best practise?

You can add the parameter to the `SearchQueryMapper` class, in the switch statement you can see how it handles for example _gclid_ and _utm\__\* tags.

Also, if you could report this as a bug on Docs it would be helpful, so we can update the standard Accelerator.
