Forum returns 5xx when search term includes "(" or ")" #312

I just noticed last night, if your forum search term includes "(" or ")", the forum will crash, and you will get a Cloudflare bad gateway error. It quickly restarts but this is clearly not supposed to happen.

I have tested it and it really crashes.

Wow, this is really interesting. I was wondering how the forum was crashing here, turns out it doesn't. I'm not quite sure why CloudFlare returns a 502 after the search with a "(" but it seems to be browser-local. You can test this yourself by doing the search with "(" in Firefox, waiting as long as you want, opening the forum in Chrome (it will load), then clicking the home button in Firefox (and you'll see the 502 from CloudFlare). I guess maybe CloudFlare is doing some stupid caching here based on the session.

But the forum certainly doesn't crash so the bug ain't that critical :)

Definitely there is something going on, testing from curl, I get the error with traceback (unless that is the actual expected behavior).

Maybe something like groue/GRDB.swift#129 (comment) be good enough?

So what should we do? I've already proposed to replace parentheses and also an automatic fix for missing parentheses... We can also just catch a DbError and give no results but it's not up to me which version is chosen I guess.
