Convert hashtag # to %23 when clicked

$html.='<td><a href="'.get_bloginfo('home_url()').'/search/'.'&submit=Search">'.urlencode($result->terms).htmlspecialchars($result->terms).'</a></td>';

I've tried urlencode, urldecode, rawurlencode and rawurldecode. I quite obviously have no idea what I am doing and have spent the last few hours going in circles trying to learn this stuff.

I have a list of search terms prefixed with a hashtag but when clicked, return no results. When '#' is replaced with '%23' in the address bar, the search works.

Is there an easy fix or do I take up flower arranging as a hobby?

Can always just use str_replace(): http://php.net/manual/en/function.str-replace.php

So if your parameters are in $result->terms then just do 

str_replace('#', '%23', $result->terms);
