Try removing the String variable type.

This means that the queryTerm variable is not defined at the time the
script was processed.

${queryTerm} - will be replaced by the value of the variable before
BeanShell sees the script
or
vars.get("queryTerm") - allows BeanShell to look up the variable itself.

Why not just use

%5Bfullname%5D%20contains%20${queryTerm}%5F

in the sampler?

No need to use BeanShell just to build up a string.
