I'm working on fixing the web searches module right now. There are quite a
few bugs with it.

This is something else that should be fixed. At the moment, the module
changes any '+' in the %2B as you said, because sites like google use +
instead of a space.
I see that google does work with %20 though, so this could be changed.
All I'm worried about is that if some websites don't support the %20 and
only support the + for google search. This could be tricky.

What I suggest you could do is set up a search for Wiki that has this as the
URL
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=***&go=Go

This is an actual search URL so + are allowed.
