Item10399: Tolerate malformed regex in QUERY and SEARCH match operator gracefully.

KennethLavrsen noted that

• This works (http://trunk.foswiki.org/Sandbox/TestTopic44616:

  %SEARCH{"fields[name~'*' AND value=~'\(']" type="query" web="Tasks"}%
  

• This does not (See http://trunk.foswiki.org/Sandbox/TestTopic44615:

  %SEARCH{"fields[name~'*' AND value=~'(']" type="query" web="Tasks"}%

  , and in fact crashes the wiki hard with a blank screen showing just Unspecified error

For the record. This is not what I noted. I notes that valid regexes with () does not work. This has been addressed on a different bug report.

It is a good idea if an invalid regex result in an inline error and not a crash

My misunderstanding had come from my use of fields[] qualification. I hadn't noticed ~ wasn't working for the =FormField=~'' shortcut. Oh well

bug report good started work on it already

Trunk doesn't crash, generates a reasonable error about malformed regex, marking waiting for release.
