The subject title is a sedgeway into my question that may slightly of topic but I've asked many sources and don't have an answer yet so I ask it here.
I have a text fields of html marked up content which I render via php. Looking at the rendered html page in a text editor I see that ampersands all appear as & When I select the field via sql I also see & I have a pretty standard seach, Fulltext and substring (ie. %keyword%) searches. There's an acronym in my content: NA&SD and when I try searching for this it really mucks up. The Fulltext no matter what I try does not get a hit. The substring search will work properly if I put the following in the search form: NA&SD that works. But trying the substring search with NA&SD produces weird results...kinda works but strangely and affects the rendering of the search results page. So what's the cause of all this? Should I upfront load my db text fields differently, or, search them differently - what is the fix via mysql or php for the ampersand problem? Thanks, Lee G.
