Replaces '%20' in metacritic search request to '+'
Metacritic search fixer Extension
Its such a simple little thing, but it's very frustrating. This extension replaces the \"%20\" with a \"+\", allowing you to add Metacritic to your search engines!
This is the search URL you need: http://metacritic.com/search/all/%s/results
This builds on FearJiri's Google-Chrome-URL-Replacer-Extension hosted on GitHub. I have added a couple of lines so that it works in a modern Chrome Browser, and icons for prettiness.
