Search Tab/Function does not work in IE

Edit: This is with RoboHelp 7.0.2.

The search tab/function is not working in IE but will work in Firefox. Is anyone else experiencing this? I have traced it back to being a problem with the .XML files. It chokes in the checkState function in IE but passes in Firefox. I have noticed that I have some key names that users will more than likely never search for in one of my whfdata.xml files:

whfwdata8.xml:
<key name="|"> 61,63, </key>
<key name="â"> 59,117, </key>
<key name="—"> 71,42,80, </key>

and the last in whfts.xml:
<chunkinfo url="whfwdata8.xml" first="troubleshoot" last="—"/>

If I remove the keynames in whfwdata8.xml and change the last value in whfts.xml then the search tab/function begins to work again in IE. This is a pain to have to do every time, is there anything I can do?

I think it has to do with "—".

It appears that if you add the em-dash ("—") to the "Stop List" (File > Project Settings > Advanced > Stop List tab), the search function returns to its normal behavior.
