Commented by GCI student:
Hello, I have same problem. (latest KF5 from Kubuntu CI unstable daily)
Konqueror tries to open "/var/tmp/kdecache-ematirov/krun/7191_0_Special:Search"
Firefox works correctly, so maybe it's bug of Konqueror.

Something like this can happen when the .desktop file of the default browser is misconfured.
For example, if you remove the %u from the firefox .desktop file.
> Exec=firefox
> Exec=firefox %u
This will happen.

So go to systemsettings > applications > Webbrowser and select
"with the following browser",
then click on "..." and select the browser you want.
The text box will contain something like
>browser %u

Make sure that there is a %u, and that the browser supports the format
browser %u for opening urls, when %u is an url.
