I am using EE 2.1.3 and Geofinder 2.0. 

Searching works fine for the most part, except when I need to enter a “Space” or “Comma” character in a search phrase, which results in a “+” in the url that I am passing.  When there is a “+” in the URL, EE throws a “URI you submitted has disallowed characters”.  Note: It does this across the site, whenever I add a “+” into the URL. 

Here are some working URLS:

http://dev-iea.org/chapter/results/43081/10/
http://dev-iea.org/chapter/results/Westerville-OH/10/

These do not work:

http://dev-iea.org/chapter/results/Westerville,OH/10/
http://dev-iea.org/chapter/results/Westerville,+OH/10/

Is there something that needs to be tweaked in order to make Geofinder 2.0 work with EE 2.1.3, or do you think that there is something more fundamentally wrong that I should ask about in the EE forums?

Hey Ryan -

Sorry for the delay. This is an Apache issue actually and you would get the same error if you were using the standard EE search module for example. Can you send a copy of your .htaccess file to support at natural-logic.com?

Thanks -
Jason

For those having problems with this, I changed the line in my htaccess file that read..

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [L]

..to..

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]
