The term "function" is different from the term "function()", so a 
literal search for one won't find the other.  Your Analyzer could emit 
two tokens for the input "function()":  "function" and "function()", at 
the same position (increment 0) if that's what you want.

Don't escape them at index time, only at search time.

Good luck!
