Replace all '+' with space

Is it possible in a modification rule to replace all '+' characters with a space? I've searched for solutions here, and I've tried everything I can with WLE so far with no success. I'm trying to report on search strings which appear in the logs as a query in the form:

?q=mobile+phone+keyboard

The nearest I've got is:

\x2b~=

which gives just single words for all matches. So the above example would give "mobile".

Any ideas anyone? I'm pulling my hair out here, and I don't have much left :-)

Query parameter data should be shown correctly without the modification rules. If it doesn't work, could you please send to us to support@weblogexpert.com a sample log from your site as well as your program settings (you can save them using the File > Backup command from the main menu).

Options->Report->Tables->Activity Statistics->Create;

Custom Table Properties->Main Data->Query Parameter Value->Custom
Parameter = q;
Use Modification Rule (the part that doesn't work)... ticked
Keep original... ticked
Match all rules... ticked
Count one hit... not ticked.

Custom Table Properties->Group by->Query Parameter Value->Custom
Parameter = p;
Use Modification Rule (the part that doesn't work)... not ticked
Keep original... not ticked
Match all rules... not ticked
Count one hit... not ticked.

How do you create a report on the query parameter? The program replaces the "+" characters with spaces automatically for most reports, e.g. for custom reports with the "Query parameter value" data type.
