Nope, you've got it right. Parenthesis are what's necessary. This is actually similar to the Lucene world if you consider <defaultField> in your config to be equivalent to specifying a default field when you instantiate a parser. But that's a stretch.....
That said, it is surprising that you are getting the exact same numbers of results found, unless you default field isn't one that's actually in your documents....
