Actually my preference for handing an illegal GET request from outside is to
send a redirect to the same URL minus the query parameters. That way, if a
human happens to have saved a search result by copying the location bar, they
don't get "nothing found" when they use the link but get prompted to enter
another query. More useful than a "nothing found" page.

Also your "nothing found" message is English-centric and would need translation
for sites in other countries. By sending a redirect you don't have to compose
any text. http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=4042
