And now it is also documented :) Thought that it must be a problem
with the redirection, yes....
But, on a different approach: might it not be solvable in the
search_packages.pl Script? I seriously doubt that we will ever have
packagenames with spaces in them. And I guess this just happens to the +
character which is an urlified space to some cgi libraries, iirc. I am
not sure if there are other special characters in that respect...
