There's a problem with the encoding of special characters when searching through the box. I think it could be an issue with the encoding taking place at socket.io that can be seen on the screenshot below. Look at byteString, the original input (ó) became another character.

Then at the Google search URL the (ó) becomes: (%F3) which in turn becomes a question mark sign (?) on the google results page.

the reason for this wrong conversion is the string "ie=UTF-8" that gets added to the escaped search url in box.js - without this or alternatively without escaping the search term it works as expected
