And if you test the same with Google in Mozilla, you will get:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=+%D7%A4%D7%9C%D7%95%D7%A1+&btnG=Google+Search
(I was searching for  פלוס )

Try to open URL above in Konq - and you will see the same page as in Mozilla.
So, we just need to way to get a right page, using right encoding.

|  %3F%3F%3F%3F%3F%3F
