BUG - Parenthesis in last name breaks customer lookup

[thedust2010]

When there are any parenthesis in the customer's last name, the customer lookup is broken. For instance, I log in to admin and from the homepage I see a list of "New Customers". If I click to user's name there to search for them, I get the following error:

1139 Got error 'parentheses not balanced' from regexp
in:
[select count(*) as total from customers c left join customers_info ci on c.customers_id= ci.customers_info_id left join address_book a on c.customers_id = a.customers_id and c.customers_default_address_id = a.address_book_id where c.customers_lastname like '%List - ( Carniva Miracle%' or c.customers_firstname like '%List - ( Carniva Miracle%' or c.customers_email_address like '%List - ( Carniva Miracle%' or c.customers_telephone rlike 'List - ( Carniva Miracle' or a.entry_company rlike 'List - ( Carniva Miracle' or a.entry_street_address rlike 'List - ( Carniva Miracle' or a.entry_city rlike 'List - ( Carniva Miracle' or a.entry_postcode rlike 'List - ( Carniva Miracle']

Just searched over Google for this type of error and this is what I have determined;

In your admin/customers.php file,

find :

$search = "where c.customers_lastname like '%" . $keywords . "%' or c.customers_firstname like '%" . $keywords . "%' or c.customers_email_address like '%" . $keywords . "%' or c.customers_telephone rlike '" . $keywords . "' or a.entry_company rlike '" . $keywords . "' or a.entry_street_address rlike '" . $keywords . "' or a.entry_city rlike '" . $keywords . "' or a.entry_postcode rlike '" . $keywords . "'"; 

replace with:

$search = "where (c.customers_lastname like '%" . $keywords . "%') or (c.customers_firstname like '%" . $keywords . "%') or (c.customers_email_address like '%" . $keywords . "%') or (c.customers_telephone rlike '" . $keywords . "') or (a.entry_company rlike '" . $keywords . "') or (a.entry_street_address rlike '" . $keywords . "') or (a.entry_city rlike '" . $keywords . "') or (a.entry_postcode rlike '" . $keywords . "')";

Additionally, this is what admin/linkpoint_review.php states similarly:

$search = "where lp.customer_id = c.customers_id and (c.customers_lastname like '%" . $keywords . "%' or c.customers_firstname like '%" . $keywords . "%' or c.customers_email_address like '%" . $keywords . "%' or c.customers_telephone rlike '" . $keywords . "' or c.customers_id='" . $keywords . "')"; 

The parenthese are in.
