Bug#236773: packages.debian.org: package shortcut for packages with + doesn't work

[Gerfried Fuchs <alfie@debian.org>]

Package: www.debian.org
Severity: normal

        Hi!

 I can't find a way to use the package shortcut search for packages that
include + in their package name:
<http://packages.debian.org/g++>
<http://packages.debian.org/g%2B%2B>

 Both doesn't work, it seems like the script does take it as a space
from the error message. Though when using the webform the + in fact _is_
converted to %2B, so I wonder why it doesn't work. I guess some problem
with the redirect match or such.

 So long,
Alfie
