For Your Strictly Confidential Information


I am a non-IT end-user of HT DIG search software 3.1.6 installled by my Japanese IT 
specialist last week. There is a database of 400 financial interviews including frequent use 
of the finance technical term M&A ie a non-standard ligature including the ampersand. 
From the HT DIG website I understand that the ampersand, &, presents search problems 
and in fact Search "M&A" returns no matches. Is there a simple solution to this problem?
