 I had a look at it. $rsearch will return the first matched group of your
regular expression, so unless you have some kind of group in parentheses it
will return an empty string. $rsearch(\(foo\),foo) should work (I've not
tested it).

That's how it currently works, but I don't know if it's the way it should
work. IMHO it's misleading. I expected it to return the first match in the
string.
