In 3.1.5, you should be able to safely set
translate_amp: true
translate_lt_gt: true
translate_quot: true
then reindex, and everything should work properly. Did you reindex each
time after changing the translate_* attributes? If not, they won't have
any effect, as they're only used by htdig, and not htsearch. What do you
have between your <TITLE> and </TITLE> tags that is causing grief? I can't
imagine what, other than a corrupt database, would cause some search
results to drop out like this.
You may also want to try the latest 3.1.6 development snapshot to see if
this solves the problem. It includes some enhancements to the <
translation, plus a number of other bug fixes.
