Judging from your mailer (Outlook), I assume you're running Wget from Windows' cmd or similar. Both & and % have special meaning to shells on Windows. Protect the URL by putting backquotes or "" around it. This works fine here (in 4NT): wget `http://search.yahoo.com/search?fr=slv1-&ei=UTF-8&p=wget` --gv
