I want to use the re-Function for use in a column for the search series on Goodreads.

Here is the source from my column:

Code:

<a href="https://www.goodreads.com/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&query={series}">Find on Goodreads</a>

If a series has an ampersand (eg. "Alpha & Omega"), goodreads finds only the first word. So I want to replace the blanks with "+" and the ampersands with "%26". But I´ve problems to understand the re-function. I´ve tried:

Code:

{series:re(field('series'), " ", "+")}

but it doesn't work. Whats wrong here?
