Change search URL

In the search.cgi when search more than one word the URL for the search join the word with + like this search.cgi?query=aaa+bbb+ccc
Is there a way the search will know to work with "-" instead "+" so it will be like this
search.cgi?query=aaa-bbb-ccc

Suimple answer - no =) GT::CGI processes + as a "joining", but - would be treated literally as a -

Can we insert code in the head of the Search.pm that set the query from - to +
What you think?

You could maybe try:

Code:
my $new_query = $IN->param('query'); 
     $new_query =~ s/\-/+/g; 
$IN->param( 'query' => $new_query );

Probably need it in /Links/User/Search.pm, and not search.cgi (as I don't think we have access to $IN in search.cgi)

In /Links/User/Search.pm, find:

Code:
sub handle { 
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
# Determine whether we are displaying the search form, or doing a 
# search. 
#

..and add those new lines after that.

Thanks
There is a small bug
If in the URL this is the code query=aaa+bbb the query id "aaa bbb"
But in the URL is query=aaa-bbb the query id "aaa+bbb" when it need to be the "aaa bbb"
