Is it possible to search for a phrase in opengrok containing curly brackets?

Question

I have tried using something like "struct a {" and "struct a {" to look for the declaration of "a". But it seems opengrok just ignores the curly brackets. Is there a way to search for the phrase "struct a {"?

Answer 1

Grok supports escaping special characters that are part of the query syntax. The current list of special characters are

+ - && || ! ( ) { } [ ] ^ " ~ * ? : \

To escape these character use the \ before the character. 
For example to search for (1+1):2 use the query: \(1\+1\)\:2

Answer 2

You should be able to search with "struct a {" (with quotes)
