Clicking a beatmap tag with an empty search bar inserts a leading space #38709

Bug description

When clicking a clickable beatmap metadata item, such as a tag, in Song Select, the clicked text is appended to the existing search query.

When the search bar already contains text, this behaves as expected. For example:

xyz → click English → xyz English

However, when the search bar is empty, clicking a tag inserts an unnecessary leading space:

"" → click English → " English"

How did you find the bug?

I noticed this while using the recently introduced click-to-search append behaviour in Song Select.

This appears to be an edge case of the behaviour introduced by #38333 , which implemented the change requested in #38216 . The separator should presumably only be inserted when there is already text in the search bar.
