Hello Doctor John

For a few years I have noticed a problem with POD and DMOZ.

Here is one of my pod urls:
http://www.mkiwi.com/cgi-bin/ave.cgi...a/New_Zealand/

When I do a search for 'books' in New Zealand the script translates the directory path to:
Regional(%2g)Oceania(%2g)New_Zealand in the address bar instead of:
/Regional/Oceania/New_Zealand/

(I changed f for g above so you can see what appears in the address bar.

I use another search script to search pod with the:
/Regional/Oceania/New_Zealand/ string
and this ristricts pod to New Zealand sites only.

But when POD uses the (%2g) instead of BACKSLASH, the search will not be restricted to the directory you select ie New Zealand in this case. The program searches the entire DMOZ directory.

Is it possible to fix this?

Would it be possible to replace the (%2g) in the search string with a backslash / so searches will be restricted when required
