Odd… Google with no search results or errors…

Filed Under (Uncategorized) by admin on 29-06-2006

While working on an HTML encoder to properly show PHP code on this site, I perfomed a search on Google that returned no results or error messages.

The strings is quite simple: " (the query is exactly 5 characters long)

The URL that were sent to the server were:

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q=%26%2334%3B

http://www.google.com/search?q=%26%2334%3B&start=0&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official

The presented entity (") corresponds to a double quote, similar to &.
Seems like the problem has to do with the ampersand followed by the number sign.

Someone aware of this?
