Here are the reqested information about my system.
I just noticed that a similar search bar into firerfox encode the '+' as %2B (like I suggest). I think this is another good reason to fix this bug.
Best Regards,
Jean

Do not confuse the string with the enconding used to transfer the string. In
URL arguments the + character is used as space, and the + is encoded as %2B

With that google understand "c -news".

Also, do not confuse urls with bash :) (bad joke, I know, sorry)
