Subject: Hexify strings in EWW search queries
X-Git-Tag: emacs-26.0.90~263
X-Git-Url: http://git.eshelyaron.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=132f4472f5f066948e69894bac8ff27430e82012;p=emacs.git

Hexify strings in EWW search queries

Previously, inputting "cats & dogs" would lose dogs because the
ampersand signifies a query parameter.  Instead, hexify each word while
preserving quotes with split-string.
* lisp/net/eww.el (eww--dwim-expand-url): Join hexified words together
with + separators, instead of replacing whitespace with +.
