Navigating to the same route not refreshing the component?

If only the params has changes the component itself won't be initialize again. But you can subscribe to changes in the parameters that you send.

For example on ngOnInit method you can do something like this:

ngOnInit() {
    this.sub = this.route.params.subscribe(params => {
       const term = params['term'];
       this.service.get(term).then(result => { console.log(result); });
     });
  }
