  PopUpMessage(selectedText,waitMessage);
  appAPI.request.get({
  url: WebServiceUrl + encodeURIComponent(selectedText),      
  onSuccess: function(responseString) {
    var response = JSON.parse(responseString);
    if(response.SearchResults == "NoResult")
        {           
             PopUpMessage(selectedText,noResultMessage);
        }
        else
        {   
            PopUpWord(selectedText,response,e);
        }
  },
  onFailure: function(httpCode) {
  PopUpMessage(selectedText,ConnectionErrorMessage);
  },
contentType: 'application/json'
});    
}

This is a known issue with encoded strings in Internet Explorer. You can workaround the issue by sending the text using HTML special characters that you can encode using one of the online encoders:
