Using a question make in front of the term is traditionally how some browsers trigger search. They usually have a jeybconbe to add it automatically.

For example, in firefox and chrome ctrl-l will clear the URL bar and put the cursor and focus there to take you to the location you enter, and ctrl-k will do similar but pre-fill the location bar with a preceding '?' so a search is triggered on the input.

These shortcuts have existed for quite a while. They used to just focus the respective separate input boxes, when it wasn't all done through one.
