Buggy search in 0.6

Version 0.6 of Omniweb is a big step forward, BUT the search needs debugging.
Currently, it works for one-word searches but not for multi-word queries.
Specifically, it generates http requests of the form
http://host/dir/dir/.../dir/database?word1 word2 word3 ...
instead of
http://host/dir/dir/.../dir/database?word1+word2+word3+...

WORKAROUND: type multi-word search queries as
word1+word2+word3+...
I.e. with words separates by pluses instead of blanks.

REQUEST to authors of OmniWeb:  If this bug is easy to fix, please make a 0.61  
release which adds no new features but simply fixes this bug (and maybe a few  
other easy-to-fix bugs too).  Many thanks in advance.
