Cannot search for "10th" or use ampersand.

Hi there,
I have tried to search for "10th & Wolf" but nothing comes up. I have determined this is because the word "10th" is a problem and causes no results to be found. Movies such as "The 10th Victim" also fall foul of this.
If I then search for "& Wolf" then strange things happen. Matches are apparently found, but the "People (582)" never completes loading, and clicking on "Movies (182)" comes back with "We didn't find any movies.".
Thanks Andrew

My apologies for the double post, I got a "404" error the first time I pressed the submit error and thought the post was lost. Please remove this post and use the original. Thanks.

Hey Hemloc,
There's a number of issues I'll be looking at later this year with search. Until then there's these strange situations.

https://www.themoviedb.org/search?query=The+10th+Victim
Cheers.
