Javascript – How do I add a custom delimiter to this context menu search?

I’m using the extension "Custom right-click menu" to add a custom site search. When I use the context menu, it adds spaces to the search term. I need it to have a +.

var search = crmAPI.getSelection() || prompt('Please enter a search query');
var url    = 'https://www.subetalodge.us/list_all/search/%s/mode/name';
var toOpen = url.replace(/%s/g,search);
window.open(toOpen, '_blank');

    This correction should work:

    var toOpen = url.replace(/%s/g,search.replaceAll(' ', '+'))

    Whole code:

    var search = crmAPI.getSelection() || prompt('Please enter a search query'); var url = 'https://www.subetalodge.us/list_all/search/%s/mode/name'; var toOpen = url.replace(/%s/g,search.replaceAll(' ', '+')); window.open(toOpen, '_blank');

    To replace spaces with a + sign in the search term before constructing the URL, you can modify your code slightly to use the encodeURIComponent() function. This function will encode spaces as %20, which is equivalent to a + sign in URL encoding. Here’s how you can update your code:

    var search = crmAPI.getSelection() || prompt('Please enter a search query');
// Replace spaces with '+'
search = encodeURIComponent(search.trim()).replace(/%20/g, '+');
var url = 'https://www.subetalodge.us/list_all/search/%s/mode/name';
var toOpen = url.replace(/%s/g, search);
window.open(toOpen, '_blank');
