CNN google results adding a space

anyone saw this?

[Clark]

Just saw a CNN google-powered search in my logs where the Title of the page had a link with an embedded space, similar to the way google adds spaces to their urls. Therefore clicking the "title link" doesn't work, but funnily enough there is no space in the url link and clicking the "url link" works.

Doesn't mean much to me personally but some of you google watchers out there may find it interesting. Sorry, can't give you the real example (no stickies please). But hopefully someone will be able to duplicate the behavior.

Hi C,
yes I see the same problem. Checked and the Title on CCN search inserts this %20 wheras the bottom link works normal.
I've send them an e-mail.

Cnn search page looks and behaves normal.

inserts this %20

Yeah, I noticed that. AOL Search was doing that for a while, too. I worked around it by writing a custom 404 script that checks the url, and if it needs to be decoded, it does so and sends a redirect.
