It appears that searching for (1) is a problem, because the () is used as to
contain a Boolean operation.
(big little)
will search for instances of "big" or "little"
therefore, searching for (1) will return all files with a "1" in the
name....

I don't know how to get around this.... perhaps the file names have
something else in common?
