improved?
Sorry, 'Outlook' should be 'OneLook' of course...
I tested it out, and it's still resulting in the right address ... are
there times when it doesn't?
Well, whenever I try it, things go wrong. For example, when I try to search
"George Bush" on OneLook, the second hit is Wikipedia. If I click on it, it
brings me to
"http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/George Bush", which gets interpreted as
[[GeorgeBush]] rather than [[George Bush]].
Some browsers are smart enough to know that blanks are not allowed and encode
it as "+" instead of sending a blank to the server. Other browsers rely on the
web designer to know better than the browser and send the URL "as is".
