The plugin to search wikipedia is weby. Its amazing that most other search engines are working fine, converting the space to %20. Could someone please explain this irregular behavior? Thanks for the amazing software. It makes my desktop 10 times cool! :D or hot! :p
for the time being, the only workaround is to use the underscore '_' instead of space and atleast get a search page with relevant results. not a clean solution though.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
You can get the same url if you search on wikipedia (not through launchy) and type %20 where you would normally type a space.
I'm guessing webby is converting special characters to their corresponding ascii codes, then passing them through wikipedia's search (instead of just opening a browser/tab and sending it to the appropriate url), which converts all the %s in the ascii codes to %25.
