Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Sometimes a URL isn't found in archive.is because of a superfuous query string

Describe the solution you'd like
If there is no match inside of archive.is, then automatically strip the query string and try again.
Or maybe just strip the query string before searching archive.is

Describe alternatives you've considered
I edit the URL manually and try again.

Additional context
Here's an example URL: https://www.economist.com/united-states/2020/06/11/meet-our-us-2020-election-forecasting-model?cid1=cust/ednew/n/bl/n/2020/06/11n/owned/n/n/nwl/n/n/NA/494260/n

Thanks for the feature request, this issue also applies to the Wayback Machine.

On archive.is we could redirect to https://archive.is/https://www.economist.com/united-states/2020/06/11/meet-our-us-2020-election-forecasting-model* when no results are found. Note the asterisk at the end, that will also catch snapshots with different query strings.

On Wayback Machine we can also redirect to a similar URL that catches pages archived with different query strings: https://web.archive.org/web/*/https://www.economist.com/united-states/2020/06/11/meet-our-us-2020-election-forecasting-model*

I just would like to bump up/second this request, would be really great to add this to the context menu function.

Bumping up and seconding this request; getting negative answers from the respective archives thanks to the appended tracking string.
