Search doesn't work at all for me on Safari, either mobile or MacOS, but
I tried Brave and it appears to work just fine, so presumably that includes other Chrome-based browsers... which I generally try to avoid, because I don't know how deep Google's tentacles go.
So anyone else, chiming in either way, what browser(s) are you using?
I searched in (desktop) Brave, which again, seems to work just fine, and then just pasted the resulting URL into (desktop) Safari, and those same search results work out fine.
So it appears to be a very superficial issue with how WebKit is dealing with the search text-entry interface.
TL;DR on my longer comment, but:

Here, just try this link - see if this works: https://greatawakening.win/search?params=george+magazine&community=GreatAwakening

It sounds like you downloaded Brave on your iPhone. If so, its behavior similar to Safari isn't unexpected.
While Brave is based on Chromium on desktop platforms, in its iOS iteration, it is based on the same WebKit foundation as Safari.
