 Error in strsplit(URL, "") : non-character argument

I made a guess that the issue was that I set rows to 10 and not '10':

query(mn, list(q = '*:*',
               sort = 'dateUploaded+desc',
               rows = "10"))

Could a more helpful error be produced or could the method automatically try to convert to a character vector in this case?
