You are right, the search form is submitted via http GET and it seems the url
is encoded by webkit in a wrong way. This behaviour appears in all webkitgtk
based browser I've available here. If the search URI is typed into inputbox,
the encoding is done right.
If there is no setting to change the behaviour of webkit, I fear that we can't
do much to prevent this behaviour. But I'll try to get into the issue.
