Polish language has two different, mainly incompatible, character sets, Windows
CP1250 and ISO 8859-2. I don't know which one is used when typing in URL bar,
but after passing them to %s they are encoded using Windows CP1250. This makes
using e.g. google quicksearch virtually impossible, since most Polish web pages
use ISO8859-2.

I don't know if it's only about polish characters, or, more generally, all
national characters.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Polish keyboard in Windows.
2. Define some quicksearch.
3. Do a quicksearch for "j±dro ciemno¶ci" [ja,dro ciemnos'ci]

Actual Results:  
Google searched for "j¹dro ciemno�ci"

Expected Results:  
Do a search for "j±dro ciemno¶ci".
