Questions

What happens to a key that appears twice?+

It becomes an array. tag=jazz&tag=harp is two values for one key, and an object with one of them silently dropped is how half the pagination bugs on the web start.

Can I paste a whole URL?+

Yes. Everything before the ? is ignored, so you can paste the address straight out of the bar.

Is the encoding handled?+

Yes, by URLSearchParams itself, which is the browser's own implementation: %20 and + both come back as spaces, and going the other way the values are escaped properly.
