 * I am having an error in the search when the search bar is empty
    The search when
   deleting what I have written on it is not displaying anything and the console
   is throwing the following error:
 *     ```
       jquery.min.js?ver=3.5.1:2 Uncaught Error: Syntax error, unrecognized expression: [data-search-term *= ]
           at Function.se.error (jquery.min.js?ver=3.5.1:2)
           at se.tokenize (jquery.min.js?ver=3.5.1:2)
           at se.compile (jquery.min.js?ver=3.5.1:2)
           at se.select (jquery.min.js?ver=3.5.1:2)
           at se (jquery.min.js?ver=3.5.1:2)

 * Thanks much for your patience. Let me know if there is anything else I could 
   help you with.
