>>For what it's worth, I've seen similar behaviour from certain search
engines, where links have ampersands in them.

That's the case: the make an url to their own site, passing the result 
link as a parameter.
In the process they escape all characters, which they should not do.

 >> It's trivial to put a filter at the front of your request to strip 
names that contain "amp;"
at the beginning. 

Ok, I'll try to implement something in my application.cfm

 >>Hardly an ideal solution, but it's more reasonable
than changing the third-party search engine (unless you've got better
friends than I do).

Especially that I don't even know them. I just noticed that the referrer 
tells the visitor came from their site.

Thanks.
