I can't explain the additional space, but URL-encoding a Unicode string isn't generally possible, it needs to be encoded first. UTF-8 is almost always the correct encoding to use, so in your case: qk = quote(query_text.encode('utf8'))
Anything you can do to avoid having to include text like that in a URL (e.g. maybe it could be saved to a model instance, and recovered via an id or a slug?) would often be a better option.
