First makes sens to me. Second somewhat less. "Expected a word instead of
'OR'"? But OR is a word, too. That might confuse users.
How about "Expected a search word instead of 'foo'"?
Also.... these do *not* produce a syntax error at all although I would have
expected it:
tool or bar) and toolbar
tool or (bar)) and toolbar
tool and (bar) or toolbar)
It seems extra brackets are accepted when they are closing brackets, but
not when they are opening brackets?? Especially thelast case is doubtful:
it matters a lot which closing bracket is discarded...
