Hi Jaka,

& is a reserved character in xpath queries for indicating the start of 
an entity reference. Try and encode  Dolce&Gabbana  as  
Dolce_x0026_Gabbana  and then encode the search string accordingly.

"&" is not reserved in XPath, but in XML. Thus, I wouldn't expect it to 
be reserved in JCR's XPath language as well.

Thus, "Dolce&Gabbana" in a query expression should match "Dolce&Gabbana" 
in content. If it doesn't, that is likely a bug that needs to be fixed.

(Paul, what you are suggesting may be true for ampersands in item names, 
but certainly not for content.)
