Try and do a search for "c++" or something with + in it. Do the search by typing
it into the address bar and pressing the search button.
The url it churns out (for example) is:
http://www.google.ie/search?q=c++&sourceid=mozilla-search&start=0&start=0&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8
The q=c++ bit is wrong. + will be interpreted as a space. It should be this:
http://www.google.ie/search?q=c%2B%2B&sourceid=mozilla-search&start=0&start=0&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Described in the details section...
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
A search for "c  " 

Expected Results:  
A search for "c++"
