Item10399: Tolerate mal-formed regex in OP_match gracefully

Priority:	CurrentState:	AppliesTo:	Component:	WaitingFor:
Normal	Being Worked On	Engine	QuerySearch	SvenDowideit

KennethLavrsen noted that

This works (Sandbox.TestTopic44616:

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

This does not (See 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 smile
