'+' disappears on databinding in MVC2

When I try to post this email : "name+1@domain.com" I get "name 1@domain.com" in my Model's property in the controller. Anyone know what I can do so the '+' will not disappear?

Thanks

Edited :

Ok I think I did not give enough explication :

I have a form that allow my users to search for members by different properties, one of them is Email. In the current system I have members that the email is using '+' inside the string. (like this : name+1@domain.com) When I try to search for this user using his email, the value that is posted to my controller does not contains the '+' so it results as 'name 1@domain.com' and the search do not return anything.

I'm pretty sure it's something about the encoding but I don't use any link here, I post a full SearModel witch contains a string property named "Email" witch is automatically bind to my Textbox with the same name in my view.

Can a Specify to encode a property of a Model object?

Thanks again!

Here's my Model :

public class SearchMemberModel
{
    [LocalizedDisplayName("MemberNumber")]
    public string MemberNumber { get; set; }

    [LocalizedDisplayName("Email")]
    [DataType(DataType.EmailAddress)]
    public string Email { get; set; }

    [LocalizedDisplayName("FirstName")]
    public string FirstName { get; set; }

    [LocalizedDisplayName("LastName")]
    public string LastName { get; set; }

    [LocalizedDisplayName("Phone")]
    public string Phone { get; set; }

    [LocalizedDisplayName("ActiveOnly")]
    public bool Active { get; set; }
}

And my controller's action :

public virtual ActionResult ListAjax(SearchMemberModel search)
    {
        var gridModel = new GridModel<SerializableMember>();
        var data = _session.All<Member>();
        if (search != null)
        {
            if (search.Active) data = data.Where(x => x.Active);
            if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(search.Email)) data = data.Where(x => x.Email.Contains(search.Email));
            if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(search.FirstName)) data = data.Where(x => x.FirstName.Contains(search.FirstName));
            if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(search.LastName)) data = data.Where(x => x.LastName.Contains(search.LastName));
            if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(search.MemberNumber)) data = data.Where(x => x.MemberNumber.Contains(search.MemberNumber));
            if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(search.Phone)) data = data.Where(x => x.Phone.Contains(search.Phone));
        }

        var list = new List<SerializableMember>(data.Count());
        list.AddRange(data.ToList().Select(obj => new SerializableMember(obj)));
        gridModel.Data = list;
        return View(gridModel);
    }

And the view (taught it was not necessary) :

<%@ Page Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/Views/Shared/Admin.Master" Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewPage<Enquete.Models.SearchMemberModel>" %>

Yeah, you need to url encode it: name%2B1%40domain.com. + in a url means white space. Notice also that you need to url encode @ to %40 because it also has special meaning.

Conclusion: always url encode your urls. Always use Url helpers to generate urls. Never hardcode urls.

UPDATE:

Try:

var searchModel = {
    MemberNumber: encodeURIComponent($('#MemberNumber').val()),
    Email: encodeURIComponent($('#Email').val()),
    FirstName: encodeURIComponent($('#FirstName').val()),
    LastName: encodeURIComponent($('#LastName').val()),
    Phone: encodeURIComponent($('#Phone').val()),
    Active: $('#Active').is(':checked')
};

I think this might be the browser eating it up. Check the actual output of your code instead of looking at your browser status bar.

If you want an actual +, you might need to URL encode it (replace it with %2B, although you might want to consider other characters as well).
