How is bracket sign interpreted

[burgundy]

I wanted to search for a left bracket sign like that but got strange results. The sign had to be in quotes, like this, to be able to search for it.

Code: Select all

"("

How is the following left bracket character interpreted in a search?

Code: Select all

(

For some reason, the corresponding right bracket seem to give different results.

Code: Select all

)

Where are you from?
Typically ? here in the US, that is called a parentheses with "squares" called brackets, Brackets and Parentheses.


Anyhow, a single ( should find a literal ( (except perhaps if using regex:).
What is your full query?

I know a few people who uses (I'm one of them at certain times lol)
( & ) - as Brackets
[ & ] - Square Brackets
{ & } - Set Brackets

Do you have Allow round bracket grouping enabled from Tools -> Options -> Search?

If so, please disable this option.
When this option is enabled, ( and ) are treated as < and >
When this option is disabled, Everything should treat ( and ) as literal ( and ).

Everything uses < and > for grouping, for example:
<sonic tails> | <mario luigi>

In this example, Everything will search for:
(sonic AND tails) OR (mario AND luigi)

without the < and > grouping, Everything would search for:
sonic AND (tails OR mario) AND luigi
