#147389 - ampersand
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Richard Erlacher said:
I searched for <K&R>

I wouldn't be at all surprised to find that the ampersand gets somehow (mis)interpreted as some kind of escape; rather like quotes in post titles, and angle-brackets in quotes - which could explain something...?

Many search facilities don't cope well with such things...
