receiveStream = response.GetResponseStream();
Encoding encode = System.Text.Encoding.GetEncoding("utf-8");
strmRead = new StreamReader(receiveStream, encode);
result = strmRead.ReadToEnd();

It looks like the site is crashing if the client doesn’t support cookies. So you could enable support for cookies on the client by setting a CookieContainer:

using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Net;

class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
        var url = "http://links.casemakerlegal.com/states/MS/books/Case_Law/results?search[Cite]=77%20So.3d%201094";
        var request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(url);
        request.CookieContainer = new CookieContainer();
        using (var response = request.GetResponse())
        using (var stream = response.GetResponseStream())
        using (var reader = new StreamReader(stream))
        {
            string result = reader.ReadToEnd();
            Console.WriteLine(result);
        }
    }
}
