The unusual iOS bug does not allow search by the "+" symbol in Safari

IPhone safari

Apart from the annoying bugs and bugs that each version brings and which are often resolved, there are some bugs we can call foolsThey are not blocking our workflow but are curious. We offer it today.

It's an unsuccessful project published today on 9to5mac medium and at least curious, since prevents searches in the Safari navigation bar when an "+" symbol is found within our text. Do you want to try it? Very simple, just grab your iPhone, open Safari and search for the "Disney +" example in your top search bar, you'll see how to automatically search for your "+" has disappeared.

The more we investigate it, We will see that it actually does not happen by disappearing, but rather that it becomes a space in our quest. It's a harmless distraction from the everyday use of our devices, but that's it it's funny, especially because of the growing number of platforms with "+" in their name; Apple TV +, Apple News + Disney + etc.

This is an error maybe it's because of a bug in the URL format, because due to the character limits allowed in these, where "+" refers to the space in the output, it is alleged that the bar understands it as a space and not as a "+". When we do a search that has "+" in it, so as not to confuse the space, the search bar is responsible for setting it to "% 2B% 0A" so that we understand it as a "+" sign and not as a "mark" in the search space. it looks like the "+" symbol is not added to "% 2B% 0A" when searching, so the bar understands it as a space and not as a symbol.

The solution? You can type the word "plus" directly into your search to replace the "+" or use another search engine at times when your search type forces you to use a symbol.
