 * HI Tobias
 * Column filtering does not like phrases which contain ‘&’. While the phrase is
   listed in the filter list, when the term is selected a ‘not found’ error is returned.

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.
 * Yes, I remember having seen that before. I think the reason is that the ColumnFilterWidgets
   JS stores the espaced value `&``amp;` for `&`.
    When that is then used for filtering,
   it doesn’t match however.
 * Unfortunately, as I’m not really familiar with that JS code, I don’t know how
   to fix it 🙁
 * Regards,
    Tobias

 * Thanks Tobias. No problem. I can just use ‘and’ instead!
 * I was only drawing it to your attention in case you hadn’t come across it.

 * Hi,
 * yes, using “and” or maybe a “+” should work fine!
 * Thanks again for the report!
 * Best wishes,
    Tobias
