Hi,

It appears that Google cannot handle ampersands in the site: parameter.
For example:

Messens site:www.ilvo.vlaanderen.be gives 17 hits, several of them in the T&V subsite.

Messens site:www.ilvo.vlaanderen.be/T&V/ gives no hits at all

I have tried al sorts of combinations like 'T&V', but I cant get it to work. This is a pity, because I would like to use Google Sitesearch for my site and subsites. Am I missing something or am I asking too much from Google?

All the best,

Koen

Google can handle &s in the site parameter - if it didn't, many dynamic websites wouldn't be indexed.
