The search engine DuckDuckGo offers a MuseScore.com search as one of its thousands of "!bangs". However, it currently does not work properly because MuseScore.com does not interpret %20 as a space. For example:

https://duckduckgo.com/?q=excellence+march+!musescore

Seems like the bang is wrongly programmed for MuseScore search.

Typing in "!musescore test1 test2" results in

https://duckduckgo.com/l/?kh=-1&uddg=http%3A%2F%2Fmusescore.com%2Fsheet…

If you decode the uddg param, you get http://musescore.com/sheetmusic?text=test1%20test2 which is fine.

What is not fine is that this url is http and not https. So another redirection happens to https which then encodes the %20 to %2520 which clearly is not supposed to happen.

I have fixed that double encoding, but it would be nice if the duck bang could use https right away.
