You ask me why?
Thank you for Upside-down Fullquoting, the standard cluelessness indicator.

This search engine can only
handle numeric character reference. I know this is weird,
No, it's simply crappy software and should not be used for anything related
to HTML authoring for the WWW. There you have the real problem.

I managed to solve the problem
No, you just created the illusion of being able to live with the problem.
The problem, I repeat, is a "search engine" that is not useful, in a world
with free search engines available around the globe.

He didn't specify what the search engine searches.
It may (or may not) be a very specific search engine, with highly complex
underlying technologies so that, there may be no alternative. For
instance, a search engine looking for specific english grammatical
constructs with a true english language grammar parser.
In that case, he may have to live with the quirks and bugs of this search
engine, or ask for support from the software developers, if there's still
support for this software.
