In the Console/Sense app, I can not use spaces or spécial chars in URI params. For example
```
GET monument/_search?q=mère
GET monument/_search?q=sainte eglise
```
I get an error `child "uri" fails because ["uri" must be a valid uri]`
How can I make Kibana encode the URL, so that I don't have to encode it by myself like this?
```
GET monument/_search?q=m%C3%A8re
GET monument/_search?q=sainte%20eglise
```

This definitely sounds like a bug in Console, it should be encoding the URLs for you.
Please open an [issue in the repo](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues) explaining the problems you are having. The examples you used here should be good enough.
