No it doesn't.

    $ perl
    require URI;
    $x = URI->new('http://www.stonehenge.com/cgi/wtsearch');
    $x->query_form(search => 'ord($&)', regex => 'off');
    print "$x";
    ^D
    http://www.stonehenge.com/cgi/wtsearch?search=ord(%24%26)&regex=off
    $

It makes all the difference in the world. :)
