Singular Keyword inside parentheses treated as regular string

[Abhinav-Khot]

Searching for (sym:foo) searches for the literal string "foo".
This works though ( sym:foo) i.e adding a space after the paretheses open.

@Abhinav-Khot thanks for the report. Yes we have a heuristic here determining between regex and query syntax, generally leaning towards interpretting things as regex for convenience. So (sym:foo) is not searching for foo, it is searching the regex sym:foo if I am not mistaken. However, I think we can make a relatively simple improvement to our heuristics so that (sym:foo) searches for foo symbol.
