Hey Guys,

I’ve got a strange one on my hands.

Ive done a site for a client with a search facility.

They have a product called ‘NBS’. When using sql LIKE and MATCH against methods to searh the DB for NBS …im returned pages that contain ’&nbsp;'.

I’m totally at a loss as to how to ignore these instances …anyone have any suggestions?
