Saved search not working

[Mi Ro]

I would like to report bug in saved search
When I search for example title:\( , it will do the expected work and list all books with title which contain (

When I save it using "Save current search" button, it is added to Searches as
search:"=title:\("
Reusing this saved search by clicking it does not produce any result.

For example saved search below is ok
search:"=title::"
and does the same as
title::

Thank you

@charles: After a quick look at the code path, it looks like a bug in
the search query parser, it cannot parse the expression
search:"title:\("

So either the parser needs to be fixed or the code to generate saved
search names from searches needs to sanitize the search.

To fix the existing search, use Manage saved searches and remove the backslash from the search name. Or delete it and recreate it once this fix is released.

Fixed in branch master. The fix will be in the next release. calibre is usually released every Friday.
