Searching with a parenthesis

If you are looking for an item that has a parenthesis in the name, for example...

Hostage VI (Expert)

...you can't use name=Hostage+VI+(Expert) as the parentheses will get interpreted by the API as being a command (we use this for stuff like c:resolve). 

You need to escape the parentheses with a backslash.  For example: name=Hostage+VI+(Expert)

And a BIG thank you to Dan for that info.  I was going nuts trying to figure that out.    I finally have it working for what I needed.

However, I don't think that works quite like it was entered, at least it doesn't for me.

If I try it like this, it doesn't work:

display_name=Hostage+VI+(Expert)

If I try it like this, it does:

display_name=/Hostage+VI+(Expert)/

Maybe I'm missing something but unless I put the / around it, it didn't work.
