HTTP/XML Search API #104

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Query the HTTP/XML Search API
2. Parse the resulting XML

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected: <title> fields containing text only, as described in API docs
Instead: <title> fields contain XML formatting tags 
(&lt;b&gt;Hello&lt;/b&gt; instead of Hello)

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Don't know. Downloaded/Installed June 14, 2009
Windows XP SP3

Please provide any additional information below.

Seems like the <>s are trying to highlight the search term within the 
title by giving it <b>bold</b> tags. This is fine, but it should at least 
be documented. **Are there any more such tags we should be aware of in 
other fields?**

See, A programmer using the HTTP/XML API knows he will be parsing XML.

If ever need be to parse XML /within/ XML, the docs must mention of all cases 
when 
this applies.
