Sorry that can not be changed because the department name (actually all fields other than the Name) use URL encoding of the actual value entered into the field because there is no “slug” created for it like there is for the name. The URL encoding for a space is a plus sign (or can be %20). When the link is clicked, Connections decodes the URL and performs a search, limited in this case to the department field. This is effectively really not any different than doing a search using the search input. Put another way, the links, even though they are “pretty permalinks”, are direct links to specialized search/filters.

I hope that helps!
