				<title>Troubling irregularities with search results</title>
				<description><![CDATA[ Hello,

I noticed some troubling irregularities using GeoNames Search Webservice, more specifically when searching for places that contains an apostrophe.

For instance,

<b>107 results (right)</b>
<a href='[url]http://ws.geonames.org/searchJSON?lang=fr&style=short&featureClass=P&featureCode=PPL&country=CA&adminCode1=10&name_startsWith=L' target='_new' rel="nofollow">[url]http://ws.geonames.org/searchJSON?lang=fr&style=short&featureClass=P&featureCode=PPL&country=CA&adminCode1=10&name_startsWith=L</a>

<b>107 results (wrong)</b>
<a href='http://ws.geonames.org/searchJSON?lang=fr&style=short&featureClass=P&featureCode=PPL&country=CA&adminCode1=10&name_startsWith=L'' target='_new' rel="nofollow">http://ws.geonames.org/searchJSON?lang=fr&style=short&featureClass=P&featureCode=PPL&country=CA&adminCode1=10&name_startsWith=L'</a>

<b>0 result (wrong)</b>
<a href='http://ws.geonames.org/searchJSON?lang=fr&style=short&featureClass=P&featureCode=PPL&country=CA&adminCode1=10&name_startsWith=L'A' target='_new' rel="nofollow">http://ws.geonames.org/searchJSON?lang=fr&style=short&featureClass=P&featureCode=PPL&country=CA&adminCode1=10&name_startsWith=L'A</a>

<b>1 result (right)</b>
<a href='http://ws.geonames.org/searchJSON?lang=fr&style=short&featureClass=P&featureCode=PPL&country=CA&adminCode1=10&name_startsWith=L'Assompt' target='_new' rel="nofollow">http://ws.geonames.org/searchJSON?lang=fr&style=short&featureClass=P&featureCode=PPL&country=CA&adminCode1=10&name_startsWith=L'Assompt</a>

Is there a problem with the query in the first place ? If someone could shed light on this, that would be much appreciated.

Thank you.]]></description>
