long urls for searching and the &

[L.D. Best]

I recall there was a problem with Arachne before when it came to "not
ignoring" superfluous &amp stuff.

Either the string is too long on a search I'm attempting or the &amp is
causing problems.  I don't know which.

I can get the first page of results, but trying to go to 'next' or a
numbered page results in going back to square zero.

I tried taking &amp out of the string; no luck.
I tried putting back just & in the string; no luck.

This isn't the only site where I can only see page one of multiple pages
of results; this is just the most recent.

Anyone interested in taking a look?

a valid search to try is

surname: stewart [exact]
year: 1942
gender: female

That produces 81 responses, of which only 20 can be seen.

Why?  How can we fix??
