I am searching for filenames in the post list for a displayed group.
If I have a file name "something (hello)", I can find it by searching for "Something" (all other files are filtered out).
However, if I search for "something (hello)" or even "something (" nothing is filtered out (it shows "something (hello)" and all other files as well).
