Parameters in search engine URLs need to be encoded

The parameters passed to search engines need to be URL encoded to be handled properly. For instance, if you search for an episode of "Law & Order", the search fails, because "&" denotes a new URL parameter.

Non-alphanumeric characters should be encoded into their % equivalents. i.e. space is %20, & is %26, / is %2F, : is %3A, etc.

% followed by the hex value of the character.

You're right. I'll fix it in the next release.

Was this fixed? I am running the most recent beta and my searches for Law & Order are failing due to the & being passed as-is.

Oops, sorry. No, it wasn't. I've just fixed it now, so will be in the next version I put up.
