Steps required to reproduce

1. Copy something with an en dash from a web page – try this, for example: apples – oranges
2. Paste it into Safari's omnibar in order to search, with Popsearch extension activated
3. If Google is set in Popsearch's preferences the en dash appears as the word "undefined" in the search – searching for "apples – oranges" appears in the Google search field as "apples undefined2013 oranges"

Turn off Popsearch and you can search for the above just fine.

Hi,

In PopSearch settings, General tab, enable the option to Support non-Latin characters in search terms. This will take care of en-dashes and other beasts. There was a reason this option was disabled by default, but it may have gone away.
