Status: Unconfirmed Owner: ---- Labels: Type-Bug Pri-2 OS-All Area-Misc New issue 24571 by artdent: Custom search engine should encode space as %20 instead of + http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=24571
Chrome Version : 4.0.221.8 (Official Build 28160) URLs (if applicable) : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%s Other browsers tested: Add OK or FAIL after other browsers where you have tested this issue: Safari 4: doesn't support custom search engines Firefox 3.x: OK IE 7: dunno IE 8: dunno What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Add a custom search engine with a destination of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%s 2. Search for "300 (film)" (sans quotes) using said search engine What is the expected result? I expect to be taken to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/300%20(film) What happens instead? I am taken to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/300+(film), which Wikipedia does not interpret as an article title. In the abstract, it is a subtle question which encoding is more correct. If the constructed url is considered to be the result of a form submission, spaces should be encoded using +; if the constructed url is just considered to be a normal url with some parts filled in, spaces should be encoded using %20. In the concrete, however, I'll point out that Wikipedia is a prominent web site that does not treat plus signs as spaces when they appear in its URLs. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
