Methods for preserving text entities?

We have some text entities in fields to index (and search) like so:

<field name="text">Solr is a really &myword; search engine!</field>

I would like to preserve/protect &myword; and not resolve it in the indexing
or search results.

What sort of methods have people used? I realize the results are returned in
XML format, so preserving these text entities may be hard. Are people
replacing the "&" character or doing something else?

Thanks in advance!

Ah, I think I suddenly answered my own question, but appreciate further
insight if you have it. I converted the & in &myword; to an &amp; so it
looks like this:

 <field name="text">Solr is a really &amp;myword; search engine!</field>
