Method and apparatus of processing invalid user input search information

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising instructions that when executed causes a processor to perform:

• receiving a user initiated request including a uniform resource locator (URL) submitted to a web browser application;
• receiving a response that the URL is an invalid URL;
• filtering the user initiated request to identify whether a hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) request exists and includes a REFERER message;
• and
• if the REFERER message is not included in the HTTP request, then blocking a subsequent attempt to transmit the user initiated request as a browser modified search request to avoid a redirect of the user initiated request.
