A quick and dirty javascript regex you could run is:

<script>
function removeQuestionMark()
{
var initialString = "example.com/search/?q=english+videos"; 
initialString  = initialString.replace(/\?/g, '');
console.log(initialString) //This just outputs to new string.
}
</script>

Outputs: example.com/search/q=english+videos

..Although that regex would replace all '?'. A more complex regex would be required to ensure you didn't accident remove one you may want. It may work for what you want to do.
