Bug with single character tags in urls

Question

Works:

• https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/c
• https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/pointers
• https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/pointers+c

Fails:

• https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/c+pointers

It treats the last case as a single tag called c+pointers rather than two tags.

Clarification:

It generates the URL if you go to the page for c tagged questions(https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/c), and then scroll down to the related tags sidebar and click on any other tag to form a tag1+tag2 filter.

Answer 1

Brad is right -- the decision to allow plus in tags causes us no end of grief, and results in a lot of contortions in the coede.

General rule:

• if any of the tags contain a plus, use space to delimit them.
• if none of the tags contain a plus, you can use plus or space to delimit them.
