    In reference to my last Comment,
    You can accept the parameter in endpoint as,

    <#assign search_query = http.request.parameters.name.get("QueryParameter","") />

Hi,

May be you can try following snippet.

 

<#assign searchQuery = http.request.parameters.name.get( "q", "") />

function callEndpoint(searchQuery){


$.ajax({
type: "GET",
async: false,
url: "<endpoint url goes here>?QueryParameter=" + searchQuery ,
success: function(data) {
assignResponse(data);
}
});
}

 

You need to accept the QueryParameter in endpoint and do the rest api call to fetch results.

and generate a response which you can process in custom component as "data".
