If you type "Christopher Lawrence" into the search bar to the right of the URL
bar, the Amazon page comes up, but in the "Search For" box
"Christopher+Lawrence" is listed as the search instead of "Christopher
Lawrence".  The results that come up are wrong.  Replacing the + with a space
yields the correct results.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Type in Christopher Lawrence into the search bar with Amazon selected as the
search engine

Actual Results:  
Got results for "Christopher+Lawrence"

Expected Results:  
Should get results for "Christopher Lawrence"

Looks like somewhere along the line Amazon decided they should accept plusses
for spaces in query strings like the rest of the world does, since now it works.
