Description

Hi, I entered my email to login to do the devographics survey at:
https://survey.devographics.com/en-US/survey/state-of-devs/2025

The link to open my email inbox with relevant search terms is super cool, and I haven't come across it before. Unfortunately, the generated search query does not match the email as desired, at least for my gmail inbox.

It seems that gmail inbox search doesn't play well with '+' characters in the query.

## Current link (no search results)
**link url:**
https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#search/from%3Astateofdevs%2BOR%2Bfrom%3Astateofjs%2BOR%2Bfrom%3Adevographics%2Bin%3Aanywhere
**Search query:**
`from:stateofdevs+OR+from:stateofjs+OR+from:devographics+in:anywhere`

## Proposed Fix
Removing the '+' characters and substituting with a space fixed the query:
`from:stateofdevs OR from:stateofjs OR from:devographics`

Replacing each `%2B` with `%20` gives the following link for gmail inbox search:
https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#search/from%3Astateofdevs%20OR%20from%3Astateofjs%20OR%20from%3Adevographics%20in%3Aanywhere
