Description:
------------
Recently, the PHP.net web site has begun redirecting certain in-URL searches to Google. However, if the search string contains spaces that are HTML-encoded, they are not decoded before being sent to Google.

(Also, why am I required to select a PHP version when reporting a problem with the web site?)

Reproduce code:
---------------
Try this URL:
http://www.php.net/strip%20html%20tags

(This is the URL I end up with when I type "php.net/strip html tags" into IE or Opera)

Expected result:
----------------
I expect to be taken to a search for "strip html tags" (not including the quotes)

Actual result:
--------------
Instead, I am taken to a search for "strip%20html%20tags" (not including the quotes)

I have fixed the code to accept URL encoded values too. It wil show up in a few minutes on the site.

You are required to provide a PHP version, becuase this is a general bug reporting system. We would have multiple pages to submit a bug report, in case of having type dependant elements, and many submitters would not bother with starting a new report... We try to make it simple.
