/**
 * NOTE: this is a bit of a quick-fix solution to resolve a production issue WEB-194.
 * 
 *  - the following hijacks the search form submission on the home page, preventing 
 *    a call from being made to https://github.com/bu-ist/bu-library-theme/blob/master/search-redirector.php
 *    which, if allowed, results in 403 errors.
 *  - we know from a previous issue (WEB-83) that this is likely due to the 'Web Application Firewall' 
 *    configurations by IS&T, but redressing the issue has not been quick, and we don't want/need the redirector
 *    going forward really, anyway 
 *  - this patche should be replaced once the homepage is replaced by the '<bulib-search>' component.
