Description
You can test this on the demo page. Type something like "news" in the live search input and press enter. You get a 404 - it tries to load a search page that does not seem to exist. Instead I would expect it to do a live search as if you had just stopped typing.
It looks like the enter key triggers the submit event on the form. Catching it and preventing any actions will probably fix this issue.

Research direction
Start at the linked live-search demo page and trace how the search form handles Enter and the live-search input events. Done means pressing Enter performs the same live search as stopping typing, without submitting to the 404 search page.
