Appengine URL API for Search Doesn't Work From Browser

[lionelyoung]

The code isn't urlencoding the string when using the web interface.

Try this:

Build query string

q = {'something': something,
'goes': goes,
'here': here}

query = urllib.urlencode(q)

url="http://smspersonfinder.appspot.com/search?%s" % query

this one word query works ok for me:
http://smspersonfinder.appspot.com/search?message=bauer

Yeah, unfortunately the issue has to do with using characters that require
encoding, like spaces (which would become %20 in the URL). The appengine
side is not expecting someone to input from a browser I think.

But I was thinking we should build in support for that, so if someone tried it they wouldn't see the Python traceback. :P
