i'm trying a small example of scripted URL field in which I redirect to [www.google.com](http://www.google.com), but some how the URL is being redirected to "[http://localhost:5601/app/www.google.com](http://localhost:5601/app/www.google.com)"  
Why is this happening?

This is most likely a problem of not having `https://` at the beginning of your URL template. Should look something like:

```auto
https://www.google.com/search?q={{rawValue}}

```
