Searching a query with Google's search techniques about googlenews HOT 3 OPEN

I am attempting to do the following search:
googlenews.get_news('"big bank" -lender -national')

I didn't get any results, so I decided to look into this. As it turns out, Google doesn't like the url this produces, which includes pluses in between terms. This is a result of line #256:
key = "+".join(key.split(" "))

If you delete this line altogether, the pluses are gone, the url resolves correctly, and you get results. Since changing this single line will enable this additional functionality, might want to consider altering it.

It seems google doesn't have exclude feature for the news at the moment, we might not able to create this feature at current stage.

Oh this is sad :( Okay then. This issue can be stay open as "feature request" if you would like to. It's a good feature IMO. Thanks for the work.
