    Inevitably people are going to search for things containing 'and' or '&' eg Health & Safety

    I'm struggling though to get listings that contain an '&' to return when searched.

    I've tried tags with %26 and & and that doesn't work, tried including them in the description but nothing seems to work

    Some help would be appreciated

    Ok seem to have come up with a solutions

    I'm using just an '&' in the title not &

    Then using the work 'and' somewhere in the description.

    Not ideal but it'll do for now...

    Ideally it shouldn't be able to cope with whatever the user listed and what the visitor types when searched.

    Please improve the search
