SharePoint Query String Filter not working with space

Question

I am creating a url that looks like this:

"http://servername/sites/mywebsite/sitespages/page.aspx?ProcessName=my initial process"

But when I redirect SharePoint to that page using:

location.href=   _spPageContextInfo.serverRequestPath + varquerystring;

It sends me to the page with the url looking like this:

"http://servername/sites/mywebsite/sitespages/page.aspx?ProcessName=my %20initial%20process"

and my filter doesn't work on query string. any ideas?

%20 represents a "space" character. Please refer this link - w3schools.com/tags/ref_urlencode.asp — Rohit Waghela

There should not be issue if %20 included instead of space. Internally SharePoint will manage it. I have tried it and add value with space also. Yes url encode to space but i get filtered with proper result. Please check once filter webpart configuration with value which has no space. — Viraj Gorajia

You can use decode URI component to remove all characters added in the URL and retrieve query string values

JSRequest.EnsureSetup();
var q = JSRequest.QueryString["ProcessName"];
decodeURIComponent(q);

Above code will provide you Query String values with Spaces as you have provided for redirection

Below image is screenshot of page containing list view and SharePoint Query String Filter filtering Title column from Query String.
