Description:
I recently edited the account for Mark O'Shea and saved it. The browser I used is Firefox 3.6.8 on OS X 10.6.4. Using same browser and searching on the Wikipedia home page for Mark O'Shea takes me to the revised account. Using Firefox and searching for Mark O'Shea on Google, then clicking on the link to the Wikipedia account sends me to the revised account. Using Safari 5.0.1 and conducting the same search on Wikipedia takes me to the revised account. Conducting the same search using Google and clicking on the link sends me to the old account, but clicking on the Article tab brings up the new account. There appears to be a difference how Wikipedia is handling the Google search in these two browsers.

Isn't this caused by browsercache?

WORKSFORME. Probably browser cache or slightly stale squid cache hit.

Neither. Problem is the apostrophe. Whereas Firefox recognizes the apostrophe in O'Shea as such, Safari looks for O%27Shea. In the posting and searches made using Firefox, the apostrophe is recognized correctly. In Safari, an apostrophe apparently becomes %27. Therefore, this is not a Wiki problem but a Safari problem.
