This is one of the specialities of XML. ;-)

The '&' (ampersand) character is reserved for entities. If you want to 
have a single ampersand, you have to escape it by using "&amp;".

The corrected url is:
"http://youtube.com/results?search_query=looking+glass+3d&amp;search=Search";

(Of course it will be rendered as you wrote above.)

Bye,
Tom
