   I am displaying the search query on the search results page, but it contains a "+" within the query itself.

   Is there an easy way to cleanse/replace that with a space so that the query can actually be utilized as text on the search results page?

   Example:
   http://www.jockjerseys.com/search/lebron+james/

   In the URL, the "+" is fine, but in the search results body where I display the query to the user, I would like it to remove the "+" sign.

   Is this possible?

   afaik search query is posted in $_GET['s'] array. so in place whare you want to put search query use:
   

   <?php
   echo $_GET['s']; ?>

   or if it is still with '+', do this:

   <?php
   echo str_replace('+', ' ', $_GET['s']); ?>

   That's actually not displaying anything now.

   Here's what I've been using, although I'm not opposed to only using it for the search count functionality.
   <?php /* Search Count */ $allsearch = &new WP_Query("s=$s&showposts=-1"); $key = wp_specialchars($s, 1); $count = $allsearch->post_count; _e(''); _e('<span class="search-terms">'); echo $key; _e('</span>'); _e(' &mdash; '); echo $count . ' '; _e('products'); wp_reset_query(); ?>

   Still need way to remove the "+" sign though.

   I don't know, maybe my theme has a conflicting function or override of some sort. I tried both versions using the POST and I'm still showing nothing when I use that function.

   The official documentation says to use this to show the query:

   <?php the_search_query(); ?>

   I'm now using this in the breadcrumb menu & using the previous script for the 2nd occurrence and the search count.

   Still can't get rid of the "+" though on either.

   first off all: why i dont see your answers here but i got them in my mail box?

   change:

   the_search_query();

   into:

   function callback($buffer) {
   return (str_replace('+', ' ', $buffer));
   }
   ob_start("callback");
   the_search_query();
   ob_end_flush();

   I honestly don't know why you can't see them. When I tried to post a reply yesterday it told me the post was closed... Weird stuff going on.
