If there are non-ended comments inside a comment. Then it will treat trailing 
words as comments
Examples
samsung /* Motorola iphone */  -- > works. As expected
samsung /* motorola /* iphone */ ) -->  works.   Not as expected. Ignores 
trailing ')'
( samsung /* motorola /* iphone */ nokia ) -- > fails. Not as expected.  
Because of starting '('.  Ended ')' is ignored. Since it is read as a comment.

If you are trying to search for actual parenthesis characters, you need 
to escape them with a backslash.  Parentheses are a special character in 
Solr queries used for overriding the query operator parsing order.

Same goes for the asterisk character.  It is a special character used 
for wildcard searching, so if you want to actually match an asterisk 
character, you have to escape it.
