Special Characters in Hyperlinks - Sphinx

Suppose, I want to link "http://www.google.com" with the text Search & Learn. How do I use that in Sphinx ?

E.g. text : Now you can `Search & Learn`_.

.. _Search & Learn: http://www.google.com doesn't work as there's & in the text.

    `Search & Learn`_
