search_v2 ignores parenthesis

[KennelLink]

My app needs to search for folders named like "Last, First (99)" by using a query "(99)" because it doesn't know the leading part - just the number in parenthesis.  Search apparently ignores the parenthesis, so the results include folders that it shouldn't, for instance "Anything (999)"

How do I submit a query that includes the parenthesis and limits the results to just those that _really_ match "(99)" ?

I swear that version 1 behavior did not used to do this.  Now it appears both search do this.  I used to be able to search for "(99)" and only get results that actually have "(99)" in their name, not all folders with "99".

Thanks for the post. Unfortunately, I don't have a good solution to offer here. The API doesn't offer a way to control the parsing of search queries like this, or a way to perform strict/exact matching like you're looking for, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though.
