matthewmcvickar Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 I have a custom web search for the music website Boomkat, and they recently changed their search so that it generates URLs with the spaces not encoded as spaces. So the URL https://boomkat.com/products?q[keywords]=low motion disco works, but the URL https://boomkat.com/products?q[keywords]=low%20motion%20disco does not work. In my opinion, the website is Doing It Wrong, but is there any way around this if the website won't change how it does things? If I click the 'Encode spaces as' box and just hit spacebar and then 'Save,' it changes the space back to the `%20` default. Details: This is always replicable.

FireFingers21 Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 @matthewmcvickar It's the way you're encoding the square brackets around "keyword". They should be encoded too, not just the spaces. Leave the encode spaces setting to its default of "%20", and your Search URL should look like this: https://boomkat.com/products?q%5Bkeywords%5D={query} matthewmcvickar 1 Link to comment
