fix: improve search input validation and error handling

Added validation to ensure both language and project are selected before proceeding with the search. Redirects to the homepage if the query is empty. Enhanced error handling in index redirect function to catch invalid project/language combinations and inform users appropriately.

Resolves issues with user experience and input handling.
