Possible rewrite regular expression bug?

[Peter Hoang]

Hi Igor,

I have a search form on the site and sometimes people do searches for 
"C++". When they submit the form, the URL will be 
http://localhost/search?q=C%2B%2B because the browser will encode the 
term "C++". Since we want to make it search engine friendly, we redirect 
user to http://localhost/search/q-C%2B%2B.html, hence my question.

Any suggestion?

Cheers,

Cuong
