That was likely a temporary bug with HTTPRedirect. That code seems to be working now. However, I would suggest editing it to use the name of the input variable. I think much easier to read/understand: CloudDeploy[ FormFunction[{"Website" -> <\|"Interpreter" -> "SemanticURL", "Input" -> "Wikipedia"\|>}, HTTPRedirect[#Website] &, AppearanceRules -> <\|"Title" -> "WebGo!", "Description" -> "Write the name of any website, and we will take you there!", "SubmitLabel" -> "Go!"\|>]]

I tried it with both the link in the docs and a newly-deployed one, and it worked fine. Could you post a picture of the error message? By the way, I like WebGo. Much catchier than Google, don't you think?
