We have a large list of vendors and a lot of them use the ampersand sign, &. On the vendor list when we type for example L & M, there are no results. even though we have 2 vendors that begin their name with L & M. Also, our AP person creates an purchase invoice, and when she goes to type in the vendor name, L & M, the selection window is just empty with no available vendor to choose from. She has to scroll through the vendors to get to them and gets very frustrated. There are 1359 vendors. Please enable the & symbol to be recognized.

Ran into this same issue, and upvoted. If you surround the Search or Filter term that contains an ampersand with single quotes, then it will return results. e.g. 'L&M'

The same issue has been highlighted by one of our customers. We have a lot of family names (e.g. Mr & Mrs) etc and the search option cannot be used due to the ampersand problem. Allowing the customer to search '&' will enhance their user experience.
