IE Search + %2B

[simonliau]

Hi

I'm not sure if this is in the correct forum so I do apologise in advance if it's not.

I'm building a basic website, and I want some links on it to bring up the search results from another site (with the search box already filled in).

Now, I got the link from the search results ok, but it seems that the Internet Explorer does not like the + (add) symbol.

So: Here is what I am getting at the moment:

INPUT INTO SEARCH ENGINE: WORD1 WORD2
CORRECT SEARCH(as taken from URL generated from search Engine) =

http://www......./WORD1+WORD2

I then take this and paste it into Dreamweaver. When I upload it, the URL changes as such:
WHAT IS BEING DISPLAYED IN IE: =

http://www....../WORD1+WORD2

So, obviously it does not bring up the correct result! Is there any way around this? I need to get rid of the %2B and put back the + !

Thanks
