<script>
  var query = "q=my+search+query&value=55";
  
  window.GetQueryString = function(q) {
   return (function(a) {
    if (a == "") return {};
    var b = {};
    for (var i = 0; i < a.length; ++i) {
     var p = a[i].split('=');
     if (p.length != 2) continue;
     b[p[0]] = decodeURIComponent(p[1].replace(/\+/g, " "));
