Bug#291889: characters not correctly passed to google search
Package: konqueror
Version: 3.3.1-4
Severity: normal
In the google search bar (at the top of the konqueror window), some
caracters are not used in the search. For example, if I type "C++", it will
display the following url
http://www.google.com/search?q=C++&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8
which is a search for "C " (the character C followed by two space
characters).
As a solution, I recommand to replace characters like '+' by there
corresponding code (like %2B in the case of '+'). The later example should
then display the URL
http://www.google.com/search?q=C%2B%2B&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8
Thank you
Jean
