i think there is something wrong with the space “did you mean” also  
doesnt work properly it redirect me different address

it redirect me which is not working  
[mywebsite.com/search/web&search=katy%20perry&type=web](http://mywebsite.com/search/web&search=katy%20perry&type=web)

working example is [mywebsite.com is available for purchase - Sedo.com](http://mywebsite.com/search/web?search=katy+perry&type=web)
