From 2024, but funny to read....

What makes this situation so ridiculous is that while we're all watching for scammers attempting to imitate legitimate organisations, FedEx is out there imitating scammers!

Depends entirely on the site. Amazon? Sure.

Many other sites will put query information in this part of the URL, so all you're doing is removing the information you put in the previous page and probably invalidating your search results
