Doesn't find show with "&" in the name

[kvloover]

Sonarr version (exact version): 2.0.0.4949
Mono version (if Sonarr is not running on Windows): 4.0.4
OS: macOS 10.12.3
((Debug logs)): https://pastebin.com/JdM5gVRj
Description of issue:

It seems sonarr is searching for Knight’s & Magic as “Knights and magic” and thus not finding any results.

What sonarr should be doing is search on the original title by replacing “&” with %26
The following API get works:

That may depend on the indexer, but for the most part & is replaced by and except with anime where all bets are off. WE have an existing issue open to improve cleaning up of titles when searching: Removing non-alphanumeric characters from all searches doesn't work for some indexers · Issue #1225 · Sonarr/Sonarr · GitHub

Cheers for the quick update.
I figured this could be a problem with other searches.
Hopefully there’ll be a way to resolve this issue in the future. For now I’m falling back to manual mode

Thanks
