Hmm... I noticed that when I `lei edit-search` the initial query that was
causing quoting issues, I get the following:
[lei]
q = (dfn:drivers OR dfn:arch OR dfn:Documentation OR
dfn:include OR dfn:scripts) AND f:[email protected]
So, the extra quotes didn't get added to the config file. Running `lei up` on
that saved search seems to do the right thing, so the erroneous quotes are
only added during the initial `lei q` call.

But putting them into single quotes should accomplish the same result, no? At
least, that's how I've always understood shell escaping.
