I am quite new with wget and I have done my research on Google but I found no clue.
I need to save a single HTML file of a webpage:
wget yahoo.com -O test.html
and it works, but, when I try to be more specific:
wget http://search.yahoo.com/404handler?src=search&p=food+delicious -O test.html
here comes the problem, wget recognizes &p=food+delicious as a syntax, it says: 'p' is not recognized as an internal or external command
How can I solve this problem? I really appreciate your suggestions.

GNU Wget is a command-line utility for downloading files from the web. With Wget, you can download files using HTTP, HTTPS, and FTP protocols.
GNU Wget is a free utility for the non-interactive download of files from the Web. It supports various protocols such as HTTP, HTTPS, and FTP protocols and retrieval through HTTP proxies. Wget is non-interactive, meaning that it can work in the background while the user is not logged on to the system.
Let's start with something simple. Copy the URL for a file you'd like to download in your browser. Now head back to the Terminal and type wget followed by the pasted URL. The file will download, and you'll see progress in realtime as it does.
The & has a special meaning in the shell. Escape it with \ or put the url in quotes to avoid this problem.
wget http://search.yahoo.com/404handler?src=search\&p=food+delicious -O test.html
or
wget "http://search.yahoo.com/404handler?src=search&p=food+delicious" -O test.html
In many Unix shells, putting an & after a command causes it to be executed in the background.

Wrap your URL in single quotes to avoid this issue.
i.e.
wget 'http://search.yahoo.com/404handler?src=search&p=food+delicious' -O test.html
