infinite loop when searching for notepad++

parsing "notepad++" - Nested quantifier +.

You can also invoke the loop with scoop search ++ for obvious reasons but oddly not s search --

It looks like the -match operator is used in several user commands in scoop

Maybe a edge case since npp is literally the only returned app with plus in the name. The standard CTRL + c (lowercase only) issues a break signal in case someone blindly types this in...

I could have escaped the search term, but I think it's kind of cool if people can use regex to search. So instead I decided to pre-parse the regular expression and show one error, rather than have an error each time it searches an app's name.

$ scoop search notepad++
invalid regular expression: parsing "notepad++" - Nested quantifier +.
$ scoop search notepad\+\+
extras bucket:
  notepadplusplus (6.6.9) --> includes 'notepad++.exe'
