SUMMARY
Searching for ( in clipboard history doesn't show up things with ( in it, it is using regex to search, I believe.

Regular users don't use regex, they want to search in plain text.

I can see how regex would be helpful for searching for advanced users and this could be kept as an option for the Clipboard, but the default should be plain text.
