Is this the link? I notice there's a space in the one you posted.

For ampersands, I always have to use the ampersand command, but then make it optional: &[amp;]* I never get the links to parse unless I change all my ampersands to this.

Also, I avoid using brackets if I can. [\w]+ will match any of Google's extensions without going past the backslash /search?. Brackets have a tendency to cause a parsing error, which is what the problem with IGN definition was.

Try this instead. I presume your trying to get three groupings?
