Example Container:
- By default the query parameter is set to "q" which is the default query parameter with Shopify.

Test Your Shopify Store:
- To test your own store then perform a site search and look at the URL in your browser to confirm.
- In this example the search performed was "shirts" and you can see in the URL that "q=shirts". So "q" is the query parameter used in the variable.
