Feature request: Search term expansion without escaping

Open geira opened this issue 9 years ago • 0 comments

Escaping terms with @@@ is necessary for query string parameters, but does not work in the path part of the URL. This makes it impossible to use with sites like the Internet Web Archive, e.g.:

http://web.archive.org/web/*/blog.edwards-research.com%2F2011%2F05%2Fpreventing-globbing%2F

does not work, whereas this does:

http://web.archive.org/web/*/blog.edwards-research.com/2011/05/preventing-globbing/

This is a feature I use constantly with Firefox, whenever a site is down I just prepend an "archive" search keyword before the URL to append it without escaping.
