spaces in URLs converted to _

[eluser]AtlantixMedia[/eluser]
to be honest, I'm kind of lost. I went as far as CI_URI::_fetch_uri_string() and found out that they uri is wrapped inside $_GET and + are already replaced with _. wasn't $_GET disallowed by CI?

Also, when I go to http://www.mydomain/search/main/handlese...ne+you+are I get a "The URI you submitted has disallowed characters." error even though I have

Code:

$config['permitted_uri_chars'] = "+a-z 0-9~%.:_'-";

in my config file?

I'm probably not approaching this the right way. What I need to accomplish is a "google style" search system. the above query would like like this in google

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=...tnG=Search

can I even do this with CI??

thanks
