Search query encoding ampersand

hi,
if i want to look up a product by name, i use this PHP to generate the API url string:
"Item.json?limit=10&description=~,".rawurlencode("%".$search."%");
(i tried plain 'urlencode()' and double encoding 'urlencode(urlencode())' too)
when $search includes an ampersand &, no products are found.
i.e. search for 'B&W Speaker' does not give me a result, but 'W Speaker' does.
any ideas in how to encode a string with & in it properly?
thx!
