• Alex: +1, thanks Shankar for explaining this to me, it's the solution. In order not to open a new question related to same plugin I edited this one, do you mind checking the edit please?
• ShankarSangoli: There is no harm if + gets converted to %2B in the url. When you read it on the server side it will be + only.
• Alex: I know is no harm, but it affects my view page.
• ShankarSangoli: Try to set space: false in the jQuery.query object.
• Alex: I have tried that it won't work... I have created a question related to this bug (i think) here: stackoverflow.com/questions/9180357/…
