How to I format a query string so it looks like this

search?q=power+tools

currently it looks like this

search?q=power%20tools

Is there a way to do this without replacing the space for a plus sign?

+1  A: 

HttpServerUtility.UrlDecode

In a ASP.NET page HttpServerUtility instance can be accessed by Page.Server property.

A: 

Not really. HttpUtility.UrlEncode encodes it that way, and that is what is used by pretty much everything in ASP.NET.

Besides, from memory %20 is actually correct for query strings, and + is correct for URLs. Ignore this, it's incorrect.
