This works for me

Simple 

        search.xml?query=(carbon)

Simple scoped

        search.xml?query=(abstract:carbon)


Advanced

        
search.xml?query=((abstract:carbon)%20AND%20(author:smith))&collection=49&idOnly=false&sort=id&_limit=2000&_perpage=2000

sort doesn't seem to work, so I sort after I get back results. I am accessing 
our REST instance via PHP code 

The response you got back below is the "I hear you but search term not found" 
response
