Bug Description

Using the "site:" dork directly at the beginning of a search query in the navigation bar opens a new blank tab instead of performing the search. This is NOT happening with other dorks such as "ext:" or "inurl:". Using the "site:" dork as a later element in the query does NOT reproduce the bug either.

Some examples below:

Looking for "help" opens a tab with the results for the following query.
```
https://www.google.es/search?q=help
```

Typing "ext:pdf help" opens a new blank tab and performs the query as it should:
```
https://www.google.es/search?q=ext:pdf+help
```

Typing "site:elementary.io help" opens a new blank tab and does NOT perform the query as it should:
```
https://www.google.es/search?q=site:elementary.io+help
```

Typing "ext:pdf site:elementary.io help" opens a new blank tab and performs the query as it should:
```
https://www.google.es/search?q=ext:pdf+site:elementary.io+help
```

Typing "site:elementary.io ext:pdf help" opens a new blank tab and does NOT perform the query as it should:
```
https://www.google.es/search?q=site:elementary.io+ext:pdf+help
```
