Python returning no results for queries with %20 or whitespace.

Your service returns no results for multi keyword searches using spaces or %20 for python.

Illustration: About a month ago I ran this query through curl:

curl cht.sh/python/exponential%20backoff
#  Exponential backoff: time.sleep with random.randint(0, 1000)
# .... etc etc.
#  [NPE] [so/q/27438273] [cc by-sa 3.0] 

But now your service returns the error: "Unknown cheat sheet"

curl cht.sh/python/exponential%20backoff
#  Unknown cheat sheet.
#  Please try to reformulate your query

$ curl "cht.sh/python/exponential backoff"
#  Unknown cheat sheet.
#  Please try to reformulate your query

Looks like I have to use plus only, instead of spaces, like this to get a response:

$ curl cht.sh/python/exponential+backoff
#  Exponential backoff: time.sleep with random.randint(0, 1000)
# .... etc etc.
#  [NPE] [so/q/27438273] [cc by-sa 3.0] 

Same occurs with browser, clicky: https://cheat.sh/python/exponential backoff

More examples of what used to return a helpful response from last month, but is not working now:

curl "cht.sh/python/exists dictionary"
curl "cht.sh/python/collapse+interior+spaces"
curl "cht.sh/python/octal example"
curl "cht.sh/python/deep copy"
curl "cht.sh/python/flush stdout print"
curl "cht.sh/python/lambda example"

clicky: https://cheat.sh/python/exists dictionary https://cheat.sh/python/lambda example https://cheat.sh/python/deep copy

All of these used to return a stackoverflow entry exists%20dictionary -> so/q/1602934 but now it returns “Unknown cheat sheet.”

It’s been like this for the last 48 hours or more. The mapping between %20 literal space, and + seems to be messed up somewhere in transit.

Yes, I can acknowledge it. I will investigate

Why not, I am oppening an issue for this feature
