After merging in !75948 (merged)

We realized that when you are searching for a token value, for example "My milestone" using the double quote search, and you do not select an item from the dropdown, it tries to search the token ie Iteration, Epic, etc by the value. In this case that would be My milestone and the URL params for Iteration would look something like the following:

• iteration_id=My+milestone

which is something we do not want.

Repro

1. rails c
2. Feature.enable(:issue_boards_filtered_search)
3. Go to an issue board
4. search for an iteration using "...Iteration:="My iteration"`
5. hit enter

Proposed solution

The proposed solution is to disallow a user from searching if they have not selected an item in the dropdown.
