143315 - "Web search for" context menu option isn't working with non-English chars

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 145375

(SeaMonkey :: Search, defect)

Description

[Marek Wawoczny]

"Web search for" context menu option isn't working with non-English chars - non-English chars are changed to "?".

See attached screenshot, after searching for "odnale¼æ" non-English chars are encoded to %3F%3F (decoded "??") instead of %BC%E6 (decoded "¼æ").

could this be related to Bug 102984?  Because I think using the context menu
item for "Web search for" does the same thing as typing a string into the URL
bar and choosing "search for" in the pull down menu right below the bar, no?

sorry for the spam.  also see Bug 119825, maybe ask if your issue here belongs
there.  i can't tell for sure.

This is definitely a sherlock plugin issue. The plugin has to have the enctype
and similar attributes set correctly. Dupe of bug 145375 as far as google is
concerned. If you see the same thing on other search engines, bug the mycroft
project instead http://mycroft.mozdev.org/
