Don't turn spaces into + signs

There should be an option not to turn spaces into + signs. This is incorrect behavior for searching e.g. torrent sites. If it has to be url parameterized maybe turn it into %20 if need be.

As far as I know, this is not an option we can offer. Firefox decides how to encode.

Is there any way around it? Metacritic search has broken recently because + signs just get cut out of the string by the site, so the searched term has no spaces, and of course returns no hits. (If I try the site's internal search, spaces remain spaces in the URL bar.)
