Maybe there's a way to force the links to send
with underlines instead of spaces,
so the results will work in all browsers?
(Netscape 4.x is the most common offender here, it gets confused about
spaces.)
I expect that replacign space with underscores in the title list they're
searching through will do the right thing; I assume their search is
already built to deal with underscores (such as we required in our
incoming URLs pre-February).
Alternatively, Onelook can properly URL-encode their URLs before
dropping them in an HTML page. In either case, that's something to deal
with at their end.
