search encoding bug

[huglester]

Hello,

for example you search for:
some fonts
it becomes
some+fonts
when you press enter again, it becomes
some%2Bfonts

cheers

Ah, that it annoying. I guess this happens on the ReadTheDocs theme?

Confirmed here with the RTD theme. The space gets converted to "+", and then to %2B (so still "+"), and then each successive 'enter' adds a %25 ("%"?) - so:

some text
some+text
some%2Btext
some%252Btext
some%25252Btext
...

System, FWIW:

wibble:~$ mkdocs --version
mkdocs, version 0.13.3
wibble:~$ python --version
Python 2.7.6
wibble:~$ uname -a
Linux Romulus 3.13.0-53-generic #89-Ubuntu SMP Wed May 20 10:34:39 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Thanks, good catch. I can see how that would happen. I'll look into a fix if nobody else does it first :)

I think I fixed it... See my commit. I gather the plus replacement is necessary because GET forms encode their data with a different encoding specification to JavaScript's decodeURIComponent?

@samhatfield Yup, that makes sense. Looks good, can you open a pull request?
