Links to [TOPIC] don't work on iOS/iPadOS
On macOS (15.5), this link will open Accordance (14.0.11) and create a tab for the search: accord://search/ESVS?[TOPIC_Thomas]
On iPadOS (18.5), the same link gives this error in version 3.4.4 of the app (build 3.0.3.01, August 2024): “The characters in this hyperlink are invalid or ambiguous. This hyperlink must be either a valid Scripture reference, a valid URL address, or a valid resource link.” As you may know, this is the general-purpose error message for links that the app can't open, so it doesn't always mean what it says.
This link does work, so it doesn't seem to be a problem with square brackets: accord://search/ESVS?Thomas_[RANGE_John]
Furthermore, I can perform the search for “[TOPIC Thomas]” (without quotes) in the ESVS on the iPad. I just can't use URLs to rerun these searches.

I can confirm this on my iPhone 13 mini, same iOS/Accordance Mobile version.
