Error message screenshot:

The app has a special logic / optimization for short search terms. When the search term is shorter than 4 characters in length, the app changes the options sent to the Typesense API to improve search results.
In case of all non anime/manga endpoints which allow searching through the search index there is a bug when you try to search with short search terms (shorter than 4 in length) the api returns a 500 error. This is caused by the before mentioned logic being only specific to the anime/manga endpoints.
This PR addresses this issue by adding a default value for the "sort_by" option being sent to Typesense API.
