Dear webmaster of wget, I've tried using GNU Wget 1.5.3 & 1.6 and the problem persists. Is there any problem with this version? The query with the "&" operator just got decoded and can't parsed by the search engine. That is, "Anniversary+%26%celebration" got decoded to "Anniversary+&+celebration". Someone has tried version 1.8.1 and no problem was found. Is it related to the version I used or pls advise if there should be other problem, thx.
