[grubstreet] Documentation for the search?

Specifically, I'm wondering why a search on
  ( takeaway | takeaway;)           [0]
returns
  http://grault.net/cgi-bin/grubstreet.pl?China_Inn,_SW6_3JJ
as does one on
  ( takeaway | takeaway).*fulham    [1]
but one on
  ( takeaway | takeaway;).*fulham   [2]
doesn't.

It doesn't look like the search is just ignoring the ';' character,
since search [0] works.  Can anyone help me figure this out?  I tried
substituting ',' and ':' for the ';' and had the same results.

Also I have a bug report; searching on just '(' or ')' gives an
internal server error.
