Space in query URL before resolving to +

RoxyRoxyRoxy

If I enter a multi-word prompt separated by spaces, the resultant Kagi URL will be something like https://kagi.com/search?q=test test+test, before redirecting to https://kagi.com/search?q=test+test+test. This behavior only occurs on the first space in a given query, and seems to have started ₁.5 weeks ago.

I would expect the query to resolve immediately to all spaces being replaced with "+". I'm not sure how serious of an issue this is but it seems like irregular/undefined behavior, since as above only the first space does this.

Hey @RoxyRoxyRoxy, I can't the issue as my browser encodes the URL as expected. If I understand your report correctly, there is nothing we can do as URL encoding is managed by the browser, not by Kagi

Luis Hmm you're right, it functions normally in Edge. I'm not sure whose fault it is then as I've only ever seen this behavior on Kagi, and seemingly only on Firefox. I'll keep you updated if this goes away in a future Firefox update, or if I see it happening on any other site.
