I just searched google for "a & b" to see how it'd make its URL, and this is what it returned... http://www.google.co.nz/search?q=a+%26+b&ie=ISO-8859-1&hl=en&btnG=Google+Search My guess would be that you'd convert to %26 if it's part of some text, but leave as-is if it's for breaking up the query. (A guess mind - others here will know the rules I'm sure.) -- Carl Read
