More users (especially when modifying links that are generated from
formats/searches) are trying to combine Invenio and SPIRES syntax.
This is conceptually not hard to do:

Nor should it be hard to detect. I believe it may require searches to all
pass through the parser, and there one would filter for SPIRES keywords,
but this is not, in principle difficult or undesirable. There are issues
with Parens at that point.
For sites not interested in supporting SPIRES syntax, they should bypass
this logic, but for sites that do support SPIRES syntax, it would be good.
This would also obviate the need for "find" at the beginning of the query,
solving another slew of user generated issues.
Note that any word that is a spires keyword would not be searchable in
googlesque word-salad like searches, as it would become a trigger for
SPIRES syntax, analysis of actual queries from the INSPIRE site should
reveal whether this is a potential issue.
