I found a bug ! I found a bug ! (it’s so rare for me, let me rejoice and dance)
On FindTutorials.com, this good old tutorials search engine, if you do a search for two or more words at once, everything will work perfectly on the results’ first page, but when you click next, you get a blank page with “The parameter is incorrect.”.
Why ? Because of the space between the words. On the first page it’s replaced by a + sign, but when you click next, it is not replaced anymore, and you get an incomplete query string.

Hope i wasn’t too technical on this one.
And now i’m gonna e-mail the webmasters…

Your words
