If you just want to search for a text string it might be better to use
undex.
perldoc -f index

%s found where operator expected
(S) The Perl lexer knows whether to expect a term or
an operator. If it sees what it knows to be a term
when it was expecting to see an operator, it gives you
this warning. Usually it indicates that an operator
or delimiter was omitted, such as a semicolon.
