How do I get this query string in javascript?

Question

How do I get the following query in javascript? It's important that we target search_query specifically.

search.php?search_query=flowers

None of the answers tell you how to specifically get the search query.

window.location.search will give you the entire search string including the ?. Can you take it from there?

No, this is a sufficient answer. It requires OP to put some work into it, but it should be enough. – Reinstate Monica -- notmaynard May 30 '13 at 19:15
