If this bug is about making search timeouts produce a nicer error message, we can do that but it doesn't have much to do with the syntax. Ideally we should try to detect a query that will take too long before executing it (checking the query plan for instance is a good indicator). Lots of call sites make this problematic. We also may need to create a custom timeout screen for searches rather than the OOPS.
I don't think we want to change the search syntax to band aid one particular way of triggering the problem, making our already undocumented search syntax even more surprising.
