Item13871: Literal search for SEARCH macro is incorrectly parsed.

Literal search for %SEARCH{ picks up the 2nd argument as the search string.

%SEARCH{
   "%SEARCH{"
   type="literal"
   scope="text"
   web="Tasks"
   excludetopic="Item*"
   casesensitive="on"
   order="topic"
   limit="100"
   pager="off"
}%

results in a search on type=literal

%SEARCH{ "

Searched: type="literal

Number of topics: 0

Removing the { from the search string, it then works.

I'm not really certain if this is a bug, or just an artefact of our inside-out left-right expansion. The "inner macro" is correctly formed. Just because the macro is inside quotes won't stop it from being expanded.

 %SEARCH{"
   type="literal"
   scope="text"
   web="Tasks"
   excludetopic="Item*"
   casesensitive="on"
   order="topic"
   limit="100"
   pager="off"
}%

Deferring for someone who knows, or 2.2.
