However, one of the links has a "https" prefix, and it came to my attention that the link was not working. Upon examination, I noticed that my database results page was actually returning the link as "http://a-different-results-page-URL/#https://actual-link-is-here/#" and thus not working. In my database, I changed the link to a regular "http", and that fixed the incorrect link return to be, simply, "http://actual-link-is-here", and luckily the site in question has page forwarding from the http version to the https. Can anyone tell me why this is happening? I Googled around and couldn't find anything (though maybe I wasn't phrasing the query correctly), and the closest I could find here was this thread, which is similar. If the site ever stops its page-forwarding and I need to include the https instead of http, I'll be up the creek... Thanks!

Hopefully I can get away with just changing the "field" reference on the results page(s) and not have to change the database field itself (it's live...). Thanks! (in reply to Spooky)
