[Feature Request] Space Replacement Options #17

Closed bellyrose closed 4 years ago

bellyrose commented 4 years ago

Some websites use different things to replace spaces like "%2B" or "_" instead of "+". It'd be cool if when making a custom search engine, you could specify what takes the place of spaces you type.

The encoding of the actual search parameters is done by Firefox. This extensions just tells Firefox the URL looks like https://example.org/search?query={searchTerms}, but the replacement depends on Firefox. There is potentially the "Input Encoding" option, but as far as I know this won't allow this either.

Sorry. I can't help you.
