[Text Search] Unable to find symbol < ' > in files where it does exist.

Description
- Open Text Search in a source code directory like "<something>haiku/src/kits/tracker"
- Search for <AddShortcut> without braces. You'l see results like AddShortcut('Z')
- Now try to search <AddShortcut('>
- No results anymore
- Even if the text-string is copied from previously found files Text Search won't find it.
It seems Text Search does not like the <'> symbol.
Searching for < ' > symbol alone gives weird results too.

The problem is that since the search pattern is wrapped into double quotes (like "pattern") the symbol <'> as part of the double quoted string must not be escaped. However it is escaped in Line 305 of Grepper.cpp. Removing that escaping solves the issue.
Maybe someone with commit rights could remove that escaping. It's not worth a patch, oh?

Looks harmless. Applied in hrev44490. Thanks!
Note:
See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.
Most likely an escaping issue when it invokes grep.
