On the other hand you dn't have to type in any special characters with a
space, flows easier and is more intuitive, I accidentally did this in
firefox one day, I just typed in "ebay 6800GT" and it worked, fast and
simple. Just my random 2 cents from some one who is more of a user than a
developer (I'm watching the dev lists cause I'm interested in helping some
where)
